Clearance site of St Anne's Road Flats This plot is formed by industrial period and modern roads. To the West and East, Effingham St. and St Anne's Road were laid out in the late 19th century as part of the sale of the Earl of Effingham's estates in this part of Rotherham. The plot initially was the site of high density terraces cleared at the end of the 1960s. To the south of the polygon Centenary Way divided the plot previously developed as housing into its present shape. After initial clearance Munford (2000, 138) records that the council built 'St Anne's Road Flats' a low rise system build using the 'Bison' method (involving precast reinforced concrete beams with concrete infill wall panels). This development suffered from rapidly decaying concrete and faulty heating.
