The photograph shows the Five Pits Trail as it approaches, from the south-west, Heath Road in Holmewood. Ahead the trail continues on, through the site of the Great Central Railway's Heath Station, toward the ponds and nature reserve at Williamthorpe before joining the main route of the trail at Wolfie Pond.
The Holmewood Industrial Estate, which is built on the site of Hardwick Colliery and its railway sidings, is just to the right of the viewpoint.

An OS map surveyed in 1914 and published in 1921 shows that Hardwick Colliery was serviced by two railway companies, the Midland Railway and the Great Central Railway.
The Great Central Railway's access was a route from the south, via Tibshelf that continued on northward toward Staveley with a branch via Chesterfield.
The Midland Railway's Pilsley Extension line passed close to the west and the company built its Hardwick Colliery Branch to the colliery from that line.

Holmewood - bus shelter at Devonshire Terrace
This spacious bus shelter must be a hangover from the days when it would be crowded with shift-workers from the local heavy industry (colliery, coke ovens and railway sidings) waiting for their bus home. Behind the bus shelter stood Heath railway station (closed 1966). For a photo of the terrace across the road from the bus shelter, please see Image
