This area of housing, which is contemporary with the large municipal housing area which covers much of this part of Sheffield, takes its plan form from the two roads which meet at the apex of the polygon. Longley Lane (aka Brush House Hill) marks the western edge of the former Brush House Common shown by William Fairbanks enclosure plan of 1784 (see Sewell 2004), The eastern road, (Barnsley Road) was formalised as a route across the common by the 1758 act of Parliament that created the Sheffield to Barnsley Turnpike. The land is shown as woodland until the building of housing on the site in the 1930s. The southern boundary of this triangular polygon is the steeply sloping clough in which runs the Bagley Dike. Partial legibility as a result of the historic boundaries within which this polygon sits.
