An area of mostly, large detached villas in Ranmoor and Nether Green. The villas are first depicted on the 1893 25 inch and begin to be constructed from the mid 19th century onwards. Prior to housing the area was rural consisting of fields enclosed in a piecemeal fashion from Rand moor. The origin of the moorland landscape is uncertain though this area is likely to be moorland by the Roman period (see Bevan 2003 for discussion of environmental evidence). Legibility is fragmentary- some of the roads are depicted on the 1st edition map of 1855 and others follow the line of field boundaries.
