The housing is depicted as being laid out and constructed on the 1948 6 inch OS map. Prior to this the area is shown as farmland with fields conforming to the characteristics of enclosed strip fields. Before the strips were enclosed, the field probably formed the southern edge of one of Darnall's three town fields, being part of the 'Park Field'. Immediately to the south was Sheffield Great Park. Legibility is fragmentary. The line of the back gardens on Greenwood Road, by Prince of Wales Road, and Greenwood Road itself closer to Mather Crescent, marked by the southern edge of the polygon, follows the boundary of Sheffield Great Park.
