Dist:0.6km east<br/>The photo was taken right in the SW corner of the square looking in a NE direction. This area has been completely re-developed since the Geograph OS map was printed and doesn't seem to resemble what's 'on the ground' now.

Dist:0.6km east<br/>The distribution centre and warehouse at Whitwood Common Lane which now belongs to Tibbett and Britten, was originally built for Elida Gibbs Ltd, as a distribution centre for toiletries products made at their factories in Leeds (toothpaste, shampoo, deodorant, etc). It was built in 1978 and became fully operational in 1979. In the mid 1980's the site was sold to Tibbett and Britten. At the time of this photograph there were very few other industrial buildings in the area, which is now heavily built up. Looking north-west from inside the boundary fence at the southern corner, by Whitwood Common Lane.
