The road pattern in this area fossilises the site of Attercliffe village green (in 1637) known as 'Goose Turd Green' [Hey et al,1997]). The area is still shown as a green on Fairbanks map of 1795 but by 1851 the area is known as "Cock'd Hat Piece" and has been gentrified by the presence of a National School and semi-formal garden plots. The name Cock'd Hat makes reference to the triangular shape of the plot of land. By 1891 gardens had been replaced by bylaw terraces. The only survival of this phase of building is the public house at the south eastern point. Most buildings in this polygon were cleared after 1960 as the area's housing stock was demolished. The area now appears from the Cities Revealed aerial photography to be maintained as a small urban greenspace.
