Low Wincobank seems to have developed as a residential area from the later 19th century onwards. This area, characterised by typical bylaw terraced housing, dates from the period 1891 - 1905 during which time most of the streets of the area were laid out for development. Fife Street, which provides the main thoroughfare in this polygon was originally called 'Fowler Street.' 1851 OS shows this area as characterised by piecemeal enclosure. Mostly shared yards subdivided into garden plots. No legibility of earlier landscapes - partial legibility of Edwardian suburb. N.B. Polygon includes the former Wincobank Picture Palace opened 1914 and closed 1959 (info from http://www.rocknroll.force9.co.uk/cinemas/cine.xml - cinemas of Sheffield)
