This is a large estate of planned housing probably built for local authority needs in the late 1960s/ early 1970s. It is built to a more 'cul-de-sac' rather than geometric design. The railway provides a boundary at the north eastern edge. Prior to this the area consisted of strip fields with a reverse S-boundary. The name 'Town Side Field' marked on the 1st edition OS map of 1854 recalls the open town fields prior to the consolidation of the furlongs into strips. Legibility of this former landscape is invisible.
