This area, to the south of the main historic core area of Thorne is of mixed historic character. The majority of plots within this area are probably of post-medieval origin- the area was urbanised and enclosed in advance of the 1825 enclosure (see Haywood's plan of 1825 which depicts the underlying irregular form of this area). The area is likely to contain significant elements of historic form and character dating to the early 19th century or earlier despite a certain amount of 20th century infilling. The area displays a much less clearly planned layout than the main historic core of Thorne see HSY5602 and may represent piecemeal expansion of an original planned layout into the rest of the locally geologically suitable land (the historic core of Thorne is restricted to an island of raised glacial sands and gravels sitting amongst the historic wetlands of 'Hatfield Chase'). Significant legibility of earlier form than the date ascribed here is probable.
