High density municipal housing estate comprising a mixture of low rise terraces, maisonette blocks and high rise units. This area is depicted on the map of Doncaster reproduced in Hunter's South Yorkshire (1828) as in horticultural use as market gardens or allotments – a use still current when the Ordnance Survey made their first 6 inch plans of the area in the early 1850s. Urban development began during the early 19th century in the east of this area but is not shown as dominant within the plan until the 1891 OS 25 inch survey by which time a grid iron plan of terraced housing had been superimposed within the older field boundary pattern. The clearance of this area and its redevelopment have removed all visible traces of the ancient landscape ‘grain’ of this area reflected in the arrangement of these older streets– the north-west to south easterly alignment of which appears to have been shared by the vast majority of strips enclosed from the parish of Doncaster (see Fig 6. in Buckland 1989 volume 1).
