An area of shops along Middlewood Road in Hillsborough. The shops are contained within terraced housing. The first group of housing to be built were the blocks 'Prospect, Albert & Victoria' Terraces. These are shown on the 1892 25 inch OS map. The rest of the buildings are constructed in the early part of the 20th century and the commercial character probably dates from this time. The 1st edition OS map shows the Sheffield-Huddersfield turnpike road passing through an area of fields which were probably enclosed in a piecemeal fashion. Legibility is partial as some of the terraced housing has been converted into shops.
