Terraced housing in Crookes. The housing is constructed mostly between the years 1900 and 1935. The layout of the housing fossilises the previous agricultural landscape. The enclosed strips, derived from the medieval open fields, were sold off in compartments and thus the speculative development of housing follows the line of the old strips. Impetus was given to the development following the extension of the tram route in 1901. Many old routes survive including Crookes Road, Northfield Road, Bole Hill Lane, Long Walk (now mostly called Stannington View Road), Tinker Lane, Cross Lane and Mulehouse Road. The footpath cutting northeast to southwest from Mulehouse Road to Truswell Road is marked on the 1st Edition OS map of 1855. Truswell Road, Northfield Road and Lydgate Lane are also named after the three medieval open fields of Crookes. The majority of the terraced houses are located within the area that once formed part of Truswell open field. Those to the north of Bole Hill Lane were in the North Field and those to the south of St Thomas Road in Lydgate Field. Legibility is partial as the previous open field landscape has heavily influenced the development of Crookes..
