This area of housing was built at the same time as the large municipal estates that make up the rest of Parson Cross. Provided with schools, shops and churches the estates represented a sea change in the provision of social housing. In common with other of the Sheffield 'cottage estates' the housing forms are typically semi detached or short terrace blocks with prominent gales. Previously an area of piecemeal enclosure. No legibility of either earlier field or road patterns.
