Waste Land, Meadows, Industrial Buildings and Power Cables! A difficult grid square to pick a representative image of, it includes old buildings from the Preston Dockside railway, waste ground and river meadows. The River Ribble flows behind the buildings to the left. Out of shot to the right is a modern 'Car retail' development.

Probably the only noticeable characteristic of this square is the plethora of power cables and pylons, feeding power from a major power substation near Penwortham to the South Fylde.
