Mainly detached housing standing in their own grounds. The houses are shown as mostly constructed on the 1923 25 inch OS map and were built mainly for the professional classes in the latter part of the 19th/ early part of the 20th century. The present day road pattern is largely present on the 1st edition OS map of 1855 and many of plots have at least one boundary that is a subdivision of old field boundaries. Legibility is partial due to these factors. The western area of the polygon is located in the possible area of the medieval village of Hallam. Although it is uncertain whether a nucleated village called Hallam existed at the location (or at all), the adjacent field morphology is indicative of medieval open fields which strongly suggests some sort of settlement.
