Terraced Housing along Fisher Road and Main Road, Darnall. Within the historic core of Darnall, as shown on the Fairbanks 1795 plan. Main Road is the main medieval road through Darnall along which the linear settlement appears to have developed. The housing is first depicted on the 1905 25 inch OS map. Prior to this, the site may have contained courtyard housing. The Fairbanks map of 1795 appears to show a series of north - south aligned burgage plots with Fisher Lane representing the back lane. The first documentary reference to Darnall is in 1297 (Smith 1961,211). The burgage plots may represent the Norman replanning of the hamlet, thus explaining the kink in the road which may have been the 'secluded nook' of the original hamlet. Surviving road layout gives partial legibility of earlier phases.
