The housing in this polygon dates principally to the early 20th century. The junction at the core of this polygon has significant time depth. Ecclesfield High Street appears as one of the main arteries of Ecclesfield on the earliest maps of the area and probably relates to the planning of the village in the early medieval period; Cross Hill became a major route as the route from Sheffield to Barnsley was Turnpiked in 1784 - Scurfield's (1986) reconstruction of Harrison's 1637 survey suggests it originated as a drove between the open strips of St Michael's field (see HSY 1171 & 1173). The 1851 OS suggests that the former town fields recorded in this area by Harrison in 1637 were now enclosed into smaller piecemeal units. Garden boundaries between properties in this polygon are likely to fossilise former open field 'strip' units.
