The Shiregreen Estate (see also HSY1110, 1112) was completed in a Neo-Georgian style by the Sheffield Corporation in 1934. 4472 houses were built in the first wave thought at the time to be the biggest single estate built anywhere in the country (info from http://www.shiregreenurc.org.uk/history/ ...accessed 23 May, 2005) . The estate is semi geometric in plan with mostly gently curving streets of houses built in blocks of two and four. Little traces of the earlier landscape are fossilised in the current design although most of the earlier historic routes through the area are preserved within the later design. This polygon represents the part of the estate to the north west of the historic 'Shire Greene' recorded by John Harrison (see Scurfield 1986). The field pattern in this area on the 1851 OS does not indicate an earlier 'open field' pattern and is more typical of the types of irregular enclosures associated with areas of dispersed settlement. The typical pattern of settlement between Ecclesfield and Sheffield appears to have been based on dispersed farmsteads associated with discrete landholdings. NB. SMR 636 represents the garden find of a Roman Coin of the Emperor Trajan dating to 98-117AD. Core shopping areas built as part of the design of the estate at Hartley Brook Road Roundabout and other main road junctions.
