The character of this area is now dominated by the schools although they have shared the area with farm buildings and terraced houses. The Walkley Board school was built in 1874 with some later additions. Terraced housing is constructed from the end of the 19th century. The terraces were cleared in the late 1960s although some roads still exist as tracks. The 1st edition OS map of 1855 shows Rawson Spring Farm. The Rawsons were a well known local family involved in the tanning business. The farm buildings are still present on the 1952 OS map and were probably demolished as part of the slum clearances. A tennis court now stands on the site. Archaeological potential is high. The Fairbanks plan of 1795 records a landscape of fields probably assarted from Rawson Spring Wood. Legibility is fragmentary as some of the previous roads still exist as tracks.
