The roundabout is the junction of Bucknall Road and Leek Road (the section of the road nearest the camera was originally Abbey Road). At the crossroads is a saw mill. Front left is Beeches Garage and front far right is the Bucknall Station platform. Bailey's Garage is on the top left of the roundabout. |
