The urban form of this area can be demonstrated to be little changed from its form on the 1877 25 inch OS mapping of Derbyshire. Most buildings within this area have survived from this time with few completely new buildings; most later buildings, (for example 315 -329 Baslow Road, a late Victorian terrace) continuing to use vernacular facings and styles. The majority of the buildings date from the 18th and early 17th century with much use of local features such as sandstone rubble, stone mullions, stone slate roofs and casement windows. The oldest building is probably Cannon Hall, which the English Heritage listing text ascribes in part to the late 16th century with early 17th century additions (English Heritage LB online). Adjacent cruck framed barn included on SMR as PRN01425. Other important buildings include an early school house (dated 1827 converted to residential use in mid 20th century - LB online) and vernacular farm complexes. Also the mansion 'Totley Hall' originally built in 1623 in local style and enlarged in similar style in 1883 and 1894 as a large industrialist's residence. Re-used in twentieth century as part of Sheffield Technical College. Hall Farm to the north. In plan form the village is an unplanned nucleation with little evidence on Sanderson's 1835 map for burgage plots. This map does, however, show a clear pattern of strip enclosure around the village, a form often ascribed to the piecemeal enclosure of open field in the early post-medieval period (Taylor 1975, 120-122). Sanderson's map shows a small square probable green to the north of the village, probably fossilised by the plot on which now stands Ash Cottage. The centre of the village is crossed by the turnpike road from Sheffield to Baslow, built at the start of the 19th century. The village form, however, suggests that the more historically important route was that which runs along the village from Dore to Woodthorpe. SMR records medieval cross base within this area. Significant legibility of medieval plan form.
