An area of mostly detached and larger houses shown as developing from the 1893 25 inch OS map onwards. The first edition map of 1855 shows a few settlements, probably farms. The area is labelled as 'Lower Crabtree'. Crabtree first appears in the Sheffield parish registers in 1699 (Smith 1961; Scheduled Ancient Monument 215). Legibility is fragmentary as the development is bounded by old roads.
