Mix of detached and large semi detached properties along Huddersfield Road and Victoria Road. Most houses are in place by 1893 with some additions by 1906 mapping. This is the beginnings of a wealthy, tree lined suburb of Barnsley which 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]) which corresponds with this area of development. Much of this land was used as allotments from 1855 and some of the plots that had yet to be built on by 1893 were still allotments. Prior to the housing this land was enclosed from open fields by the 1799 Barnsley enclosure award (date from English 1985). There is significant legibility of the former surveyed enclosure pattern in the layout of the plots. A small colliery was marked on 1855 maps.
