This Sheffield Corporation Housing development dates to the early 1930s and is built within a rough square of roads already in existence by the time of Thomas Jefferys' 1775 survey of Yorkshire. These roads, now called Norwood Lane, Longley Lane, Moonshine Lane, Carr Lane and Southey Lane retain the winding courses of their pre urban character and lead between the sites of former small greens such as Elm and Southey Greens. The Fairbanks 1784 enclosure plan of the area (see Sewell 2004, fig 3) suggests funnelling of these greens into thinner tracks suggesting that these routes began as cattle drove ways between grazing lands. Settlement sites on the early maps cluster around these greens and along these routes with the spaces in-between filled with irregular piecemeal enclosures with a mixture of names indicative of arable and livestock farming (ibid). The present housing on the estate is typical of corporation housing of its dates being of a medium density with generously sized cottages with gardens to front and rear built on a rigid geometric plan of two 'cartwheel shapes'. The estate, which is in a generally good condition, features 4 central recreational 'greens' which have recently been restored to their original design. Street trees are a feature of the estate. Significant legibility of one of Sheffield's better designed corporation estates. Fragmentary legibility of the earlier routes into which the later estate has been inserted.
