The area is primarily industrial, with activities including recycling, aggregates, manufacturing; as well as sales and service businesses, including those service industrial clients, and the building trade. Larger businesses and activities include the 'Robin Concrete Waste Disposal Ltd.' plant, the Stagecoach Hull bus depot

Main roads are the A1033 (Stoneferry Road / Mount Pleasant) and A1165 (Cleveland Street) which run from the A63 Hull-Hedon main road in the south to Stoneferry in the north. The Hull Docks elevated railway also passes through the area. Crossings of the river are by the dock branch "Hull bridge" swing railway bridge, and by the "Sculcoates bridge" on Chapman Street at the northern and southern fringes of the area respectively. A former railway bridge, now a foot and cycle path "Wilmington Swing Bridge" crosses the river roughly halfway between the two.
