When the population of Darfield started to expand in the late 19th century a number of densely built terraces were built at Snape Hill. The area between Snape Hill and the historic core of Darfield was gradually filled in. This occurred in the early 20th century when most of the terraces in this polygon were built. The earliest houses are those at College Terrace on South View. The Wesleyan Methodist Chapel was also built by 1892. There were some isolated buildings elsewhere in the polygon before the majority of the houses were built but the area was generally characterised by strip fields enclosed from the medieval town field. There is fragmentary legibility of the former enclosures.
