Prior to the 1987 OS this area was a mix of back to back housing (constructed in the late 19th century and largely to the west towards Brightside Lane) and early twentieth century high density housing mostly on the River Don side of the polygon. Prior to development the area was irregular piecemeal enclosure. Now small modern units which are shown as beginning to clear on cleared housing plots by 1987. Basic street pattern retained an occasional industrial units e.g. 1930s Premier Works (Piston Rings) on Don Lane. Includes the site of the 'New Hall' from which this area takes its name.
