This area of urban parkland retains street lines from its pre-clearance urban fabric. Shown on pre 1967 OS maps and aerial photographs held by Sheffield City Council as a residential area of mostly early 20th century 'bylaw' terraced housing . Prior to 1891 this area was part of the 'Old Park Wood' a woodland survival from the De Mountenay family deer park established by royal charter in 1391 and surviving until the 16th century (Walton 1943). Fragmentary legibility of the earlier housing pattern in the form of the preserved street pattern.
