Planned estate of social housing, consisting mostly of semi-detached housing, constructed in the late 1940s and early 1950s. The area had been agricultural until this point. The 1st edition OS map of 1855 shows a pattern of thin enclosed strips. A plan of Kimberworth dated 1796 shows the area, including Soapald Field later called Sopewell and Winter Hill Field, still being cultivated as open fields. Legibility of the former landscape is fragmentary as field names survive in Sopewell Road and Winterhill Road .
