Developed as grid iron terraced housing between 1905 and 1925. This polygon forms part of the later growth of the Sharrow Vale suburb after the extension of the tramway network along Ecclesall Road between 1891 and 1905. Wholly within the area of 'Sharrow Moor' as shown to be enclosed on the 1788 Ecclesall Enclosure Award plan (by Fairbank). Houses along Psalter Lane are set back from the road and considerably grander than those on the slope below (to the north).
