Darnall Fire Station is first depicted on the 1966 6 inch OS plan. The Salvation Army Citadel is contained within the eastern corner of the polygon but is not large enough to warrant its own polygon. It is first depicted on the 1935 25 inch OS map. Prior to the fire station the plot contained terrace housing situated against the southwest and northwest perimeter. The housing was built on fields with the character of enclosed strips. The previous character types are not legible.
