This winding road is one of the oldest routes in the neighbourhood, predating the suburbanisation of the area in the 19th century (Shown on Fairbank 1795 map). Comparison of the present layout with the 1851 OS shows that within this polygon the outline and property boundaries of the former hamlet of Cherry Tree Hill continue to be an important element. However, with the exception of 'Prior Bank' "an early 19th century house of some size, brick with a hipped roof and two canted bay windows, the home of John Cole of Cole Brothers from 1863 to 1899" (Harman and Minnis, 2004 p233), much of the plots of the former hamlet were redeveloped in the late 20th century - mostly as high class villas and detached houses. Fragmentary legibility of older settlement.
