Terraced housing around Lydgate Lane. The housing actually along the lane is constructed first, with the rest following by 1905. The layout of the housing fossilises the previous agricultural landscape. The enclosed strips, derived from the medieval open fields, were sold off in compartments and the speculative development of housing followed the line of the old strips. Lydgate Lane is named after one of the medieval open fields of Crookes, Lydgate Field. Legibility is partial as the previous open field landscape has heavily influenced the development of Crookes.
