Semi detached houses and some terraces built along the turnpiked road between Barnsley and Worsbrough Dale. Most of the housing is was built by 1931 maps. The turnpike cut across the former field pattern in the area so the orientation of the housing along the road gives no legibility of the previous piecemeal enclosure landscape. The development of the tram way along this route in the early 20th century was likely to have been the cause of the explosion of speculative building along this road.
