A mixed development of private housing in the midst of the Charnock Hall estate. The housing plots are shown on the 1882 OS map, laid out either side of the unnamed Smithfield Road. Smithfield House stands at the north of the plot. By the 1898 OS map some terraces have been built. More housing comprising a mix of small, detached and semi-detached suburban villas with some terraces are built over the next 50 years. The 1948 OS map still shows some empty plots but these are filled by the 1973 map. The majority of plots laid out on the 1882 map are still extant. Prior to housing, the area consisted of fields, probably enclosed in a piecemeal fashion. Legibility is partial due to the perseverance of the plots.
