Mix of detached and large semi detached properties. There was a low density of housing from the early 20th century but most houses are built by 1931 mapping. The road pattern and housing plots had been in place from 1893 maps. This tree lined suburb of Barnsley is likely to have been developed as part of a land society development. The Barnsley British Co-operative Society was developing houses between 1862 and 1902 (Barnsley Family History Society 1999 [accessed 21/1/08]). Prior to the housing this was an area of narrow strip enclosures centred around Barnsley Old Town. These are likely to have been enclosed from an early date . There is partial legibility of the field pattern in the layout of the houses.
