This area of grid iron terraced housing was developed by architect and developer FW Masters between 1882 and 1892 (Kesson 2006) following the sale of an estate surrounding the large residence ‘Nether Hall’ (see HSY 5856) between 1851 and 1891. The 1767 Corporation map depicts Nether Hall and indicates some ornamental or horticultural enhancement of a strip enclosure landscape to the south of the hall with trees or orchards. The 1828 map of Doncaster [included in Hunters ‘South Yorkshire Volume 1’ (Hunter 1828)] shows a layout typical of a more ornamental ‘naturalistic’ parkland. Fragmentary legibility of the exterior boundary of the earlier park.
