This area, formerly the surveyed enclosure of Sharrow Moor (see Fairbank's 1788 Ecclesall Enclosure Map plan), was developed as a high class suburb by 1891. The road plan and a number of the original villas survive, although the overall legibility of the development has been much eroded by later 20th century infill at a much higher density. Partial legibility of late 19th century suburb.
