This view shows (1) how the road, railway and canal compete for space in the valley bottom, and typical redevelopment of 19C industrial land. (2) development even on a steep hillside (3) a less steep slope halfway up the hillside, where there are farms and pastureland. (4) moorland at the top of the hillside. At the bottom of the pasture towards the left there are a series of steps across the field that I think must be minor landslips rather than cultivation terraces.
