Seen by looking north-west from the Macclesfield Canal, this area awaiting housing development is off Gunco Lane. The former R H Stevens Transport Ltd haulage site has planning permission for 88 homes. The dark church clock tower on the skyline is that of the little used Christ Church in Great King Street. Examining newer aerial images, it seems that the building by the trees on the left, which appears to be undergoing modernisation in 2014, did not progress to be part of the final development.
