Mostly modern retail sheds in this area, the growth of which is currently greatly stimulated by the ease of communication provided by the Sheffield Parkway to the city centre and M1 motorway. The 1851 map shows this area as Cricket Inn Road Gardens, probably early examples of allotment gardens. During the early years of the 20th century the gardens give way to industrial uses as the railways to the north of the site expand. By 1938 the north of the polygon was covered in railway sidings, whilst the area south of the current parkway was largely occupied by the Sheffield Corporation Abattoir.
