First depicted on the 1935 25 inch OS plan of Yorkshire. Semi detached estate. Fragmentary legibility of earlier important landscape features restricted to the fossilisation of two important early tracks. 'Folds Lane' is shown as a track way along a major shared boundary of two sets of strip fields. It leads from the site of Beauchief Abbey (SMR127) to Ecclesall Corn Mill (SMR769) which was granted to the monks of Beauchief by Sir Ralf de Ecclesall in the mid 13th century in exchange for intercessionary prayers for his son (Crossley 1989, p100). The large piecemeal enclosures either side of this path are associated with the demolished farmstead 'The Folds'. 'Fold' is a denominative component of many field names which takes its route from the Old English 'fald' meaning 'small enclosure; a pen for animals (Field 1972, 269). Abbey Lane is also an older route being depicted on the 1767 Burdett map of Derbyshire.
