Dist:0.2km north<br/>The foreground is in Emley, and the view crosses into Flockton as it crosses the stream. Then, just round the corner, Mill Lane goes off to the right and climbs to Barnsley Road, above which are the houses on the horizon.

Dist:0.5km north<br/>Flockton was an urban district council due to the urban development consequent to the coal mining in the area. This street is part of the council housing estate built by the council off Barnsley Road. The 'park' in the road name is not a public park, but the parkland of the manor house.
