Terraced housing in Hillsborough built to a grid-iron pattern adjacent to a former turnpike road. The housing began to be constructed shortly after the turn of the 20th century. The areas of garages by Leake Road was the site of some earlier cottages known as 'Dixons Cottages'. Prior to this the location near the River Don may have resulted in the use of the area as meadows. Legibility of the former landscape is invisible.
