Modern council estate built to replace earlier back to back housing. The area included in this polygon was still depicted as farmland on the 1851 OS and may represent the 'Spitalfield' alluded to by the name of the terrace to the north on the same map. The morphology shown on this map suggests a former open field subject to piecemeal enclosure with reversed s curve boundaries, thin narrow plots and a 'tomcross lane' leading to a possible former baulk within the open field. Before redevelopment to its current layout (which appears to be underway on the 1967 OS) the area was divided into a grid iron street layout (which partially survives) with dense back to back courtyard housing. There is fragmentary legibility of the earlier cleared housing through survival of street layout.
