The polygon includes a triangle of roads all depicted on the 1851 OS plan and including Upwell Street, Upwell Lane and Chambers Lane. The Bagley Dike bisects this area and it is possible that the central area (known as 'Bowling Green' may have been a fragment of common land around which the small hamlet shown on the 1851 OS developed. By the 1891 the area was largely occupied by high density housing types (including both back to backs and 'bylaw' terraces) - influenced by the expansion and proximity of the industrial Don Valley just to the south. During the 20th century (especially after the collapse of heavy industry in the valley the dominant character of this polygon has changed to a light industrial nature. The early road pattern and scattered 19th century pubs and a chapel constitute fragmentary legibility of the overall landscape narrative within this polygon.
