Terraced houses expanding the early settlement at Blacker first depicted on 1893 maps. This land was enclosed from open commons. The nearby Staincross commons survived as quite a large unenclosed area until the late 18th, early 19th century. This area of land was enclosed by 1775 and was marked as such on Jefferys' map of the area. There is partial legibility of the former landscape as the housing fits within earlier enclosures.
