Terraced housing constructed in a grid iron street pattern, mostly in the first quarter of the 20th century. Before this, the area consisted of agricultural land. The original pattern of enclosures was created by a programme of drainage on Balby Carr. This resulted in a series of straight and regular fields aligned on the drainage ditches. This polygon includes Lister Avenue. Number 15 was used as the location of Arkwright's shop in the BBC comedy series 'Open All Hours'. Numbers 34 and 32 were used as the homes of other characters. Legibility of the former landscape is invisible.
