An area of low rise flats, some of which are in converted older buildings. The area was developed in the late 19th century as villa type housing for the professional and middle classes. By 1922, the Sheffield Royal Hospital annexe had been built. The hospital probably served as an isolation hospital and later as a specialist burns unit. It is claimed that Phil Oakey of The Human League worked as a porter in the hospital. Prior to this the area is shown as fields. The current field boundaries are depicted on the 1795 Fairbanks plan and are probably much older. Legibility is partial due to this.
