This self contained area of grid iron terraces was the result of infilling between 1891 and 1905 of an area between the Kenwood suburb to its north, the Montgomery Land Society development to its west and Abbeydale Road to its east. This period of development also saw the extention of the tramway network along this part of Abbeydale Road. There is a slight subdivision of character between the north and south of this polygon at Sheldon Road, with property to the south being of generally grander proportions. The only historic route through this polygon was by Machon Bank which follows the ridge of a sandstone escarpment. Within this polygon there existed an eponymous hamlet, the farms of which were demolished at the time of its suburbanisation. Significant legibility of late Victorian / early Edwardian terraced development. Nb. This polygon was built with a C of E church at the east end of Machon Bank and demolished c2000.
