This area of grid iron streets was laid out around the 1870s (according to directory maps). A variety of designs is present, with older types to the north of these streets. The area is almost entirely free from industrial buildings. Edges of this polygon are defined by the edge of development at 1891 to the east (formerly meadows alongside the goit between Cooper and Clough wheels), Shoreham Street to the west (mostly sports grounds at Bramall Lane and Sheaf House in 1891) and St Mary's church and the John Street industrial area to the north west. Much of this area was occupied in the 1850s with large ornamental grounds around the nearby Clough House and Cottage, Sheaf House, White House and Cherry Mount. These properties represented the gentrification of an area that was depicted in 1808 by Fairbank as farmland, characterised as surveyed enclosures. This 18th and early 19th century landscape was almost entirely redrawn at the time of its conversion to building ground. Fragmentary legibility of earlier landscape as Clough Road follows earlier boundaries around Clough House and Clough Place.
