The East side sits high on the moors at Bowland Knotts, above Stocks Reservoir and literally on the border between Lancashire and Yorkshire. It lies directly across the road from The Wild West and is a smaller collection of gritstone boulders. The boulders here are fewer, and further apart. The problems are generally shorter than it's counterpart across the road, but by no means less in quality. They are still well worth a visit, and the rock is of the same good quality grit, with good landings and a variety of styles and grades, from V0 to V5.
As before, they have been grouped into "sectors" and given a what3words reference for each.
Topos and description etc are available here -

Follow the road through Gisburn Forest, past Stocks Reservoir and up onto the moors. Park in the small layby directly next to the cattle grid (on the Yorkshire side) at the top of the hill beside the roadside boulders.
From the parking area for The Wild West, cross the road and head East following the wall on the Lancashire side for a few hundred yards until reaching the first sector - Eastern Bloc
The boulders lie on open access land and therefore access should not be an issue.
