A polygon which is dominated by low rise flats which were probably constructed after the slum clearances of the late 1960s. The 1894 25 inch OS map shows an area containing a mix of terraced and back-to-back houses. The area is less built up in the mid 19th century with some linear development along Crookes Road and St. Thomas' church to the south of the polygon. Prior to this development, the area consisted of strip fields enclosed from the medieval open fields of Crookes. Legibility is fragmentary as the outline of the polygon fossilises boundaries prevalent on the 1st Edition OS map of 1855.
