Storthwood Court is a development of modern low rise flats. It is situated on the site of Storthwood House, a detached villa, probably built for a wealthy industrialist towards the end of the 19th century. The house is first depicted on the 1893 25 inch OS map. Redevelopment appears to have taken place between the early 1950s and 1976. Prior to housing, the area is depicted as a field with the characteristics of piecemeal enclosure. The west, south and eastern boundaries of the plot follow the line of the field boundaries shown on the 1st edition OS map of 1855. Legibility is fragmentary due to this.
