The ruined building is the remains of the presbytery attached to St. Joseph's Roman Catholic church, latterly a concrete building which occupied the vacant ground in the foreground of the picture. This had replaced an earlier building destroyed by fire in the 1960s. A great many houses on Macleod Street are awaiting demolition. The bridge just visible at the far end of the street is Whitefield Bridge 141 over the Leeds and Liverpool Canal, while on the skyline the familiar shape of Pendle Hill is visible.
