This area shows the former extent of Mosborough Green, enclosed as a part of the Eckington Enclosure Award formalised in 1804 (Stroud 1996, Fig 19). The division of the green created the core pattern of roads, namely Chapel Street, Queen Street, High Street, Station Road and School Road and formed the basis of the property divisions which survives in modified form until the present day. The small village green at the north end of chapel street is all that remains of the earlier common land and was formalised at this time. The housing within these plots dates principally to the 19th century (probably representing the expansion of the coal mining industry in the local area at this time) with a mix of earlier vernacular types, dating to the early and mid 19th century; and later bylaw terracing, dating to the later 19th century. Typical 19th century features include a number of chapels and public houses and a mid / late 19th century school building extended c.1900. There is a possibility that some property within this area predates its parliamentary enclosure and represents moorland encroachment / squatter settlement related to post-medieval mineral extraction. The later 20th century has seen much infill development of vacant plots within this area mostly of private detached and semi detached property. Gray Street sits within and respects the boundaries of a small oval area of pre parliamentary enclosure, whilst the housing along the south side of Station Road, the north side of Stone Street, at William Crescent and Oats Orchard has been built within plots first defined by the 1804 enclosure award. The predominant character of this area has been judged to be primarily influenced by the terraced properties (both bylaw and vernacular) which continue to form the majority of its housing stock, and the good set of contemporary surviving institutional buildings. This character has however been considerably modified by the later 20th century infill developments. There remains significant legibility of the property boundaries planned at the time of parliamentary enclosure.
