Dist:0.1km<br/>A spring in Stoneleigh Park which appears to be where the River Beal originates (Just in front of the bush). From here the runnel flows in a pipe and emerges on the other side of the playing fields.

Dist:0.3km<br/>Terraced houses on Acre Lane, in the Derker area of Oldham, Greater Manchester, England. Located northeast of Oldham town centre, Derker is composed of a mixture of industrial, semi-industrial and residential properties. Its housing stock - mostly Victorian and Edwardian era red-brick terraces - was identified by the Housing Market Renewal scheme as unsuitable for human habitation in around the year 2000, and was earmarked for a vast demolition and gentrification project, particularly as Derker railway station was to become a Metrolink station. The late-2000s financial crisis brought the scheme to an end and properties like those on Acre Lane have sadly remained boarded-up, derelict and abandoned.
