This polygon, roughly triangular in shape, contains a mixture of housing but is dominated by semi-detached properties dating to the 1930s. Earlier maps show little development except for a few houses at the Town Head (corner of Rural Lane and Worral Road) and the junction of Worral Road and Laird Road. The original Manor House stood in this area but was demolished in 1959. The triangular shape at a road junction strongly suggests an origin as the village green. This was probably a planned feature added to the settlement of Wadsley at the time of the creation of Wadsley sub manor at the beginning of the 13th century. Over time development encroached on and around the green. Legibility is partial. The road layout and shape of the plot probably date to the 13th century. A number of older, stone built vernacular buildings remain amongst the new developments. The origin of the moorland landscape is uncertain though this area is likely to be moorland by the Roman period (see Bevan 2003 for discussion of environmental evidence).
