Low density villa development constructed following the break up and sale of Sprotbrough Park in the 1920s (Fenton-Thomas 2006). This phase of development took place in an area of park first landscaped at the direction of Godfrey Copley in the late 17th and early 18th century in the continental style which he had witnessed first hand on a visit to Versailles (Klemperer 2003 quoted in Fenton-Thomas). This classical style had by the 1850s been almost completely replaced by grounds in the naturalistic style with geometric plantings and canals replaced by scattered specimen trees and semi regular woodland clumps presented by means of curving and sinuous driveways and walks designed to offer optimum views of this idealised landscape and the surrounding managed countryside of the surrounding estate. 'Park Drive' fossilises the line of one of these routes through the former parkland although much widened on development. A number of the mature trees which are scattered throughout this area are likely to date to the 'naturalistic' planting scheme of the late 18th and early 19th centuries and together with the drive itself and the surviving 'North Lodge' provide significant legibility of this underlying landscape. The landscaping of the late 17th century by Copley makes reconstruction of the earlier landscape of this area extremely difficult.
