This polygon covers the historic core of the hamlet of Bradgate, which lay at a crossroads at the south-eastern limit of Kimberworth Park. The place name, meaning 'broad road' is first recorded in 1475 (Smith 1961, 188). There appear to be two main phases of housing surviving. The first, terraced housing from around the first quarter of the 20th century, was probably constructed for workers from the nearby quarries and mines. The second phase, of mainly semi-detached housing, dates from the end of the 20th century. This mix of housing types surrounds an older street pattern, making legibility partial.
