Housing estate consisting mostly of semi-detached houses built on the site of earlier terraced housing. The semi-detached houses are shown developing from the 1935 25 inch OS map onwards. Some of the earlier terraced housing, first depicted on the 1905 25 inch OS map, is still standing. This is most visible around James Street and Creswell Road. Prior to housing the site is fields displaying the characteristics of enclosed strips. The Sanderson map of 1835 shows an area of strips marked as 'Owler Greave', which can be interpreted as Alder Copse. Before the enclosure of the strips the area was part of Darnall's Middle Field. Legibility is partial due to the survival of some earlier types of housing.
