The area is defined by its position near the confluence of the River Trent and River Derwent, with the parish church of St. Edward King and Martyr serving as a focal point. Development includes a mix of older properties and newer residential estates, with the main A453 road providing a key transport route through the community. Local commerce is centred along Borough Street and the adjacent Market Place.
