This polygon shows the area of the main village of Gleadless as depicted on the 1851 OS 6 inch to the mille mapping. The early maps show a small linear nucleated settlement including small cottages, public houses, farmsteads, a smithy and larger houses. This phase of development survived until the mid twentieth century with their northern boundaries respected by the estates described by HSY1447 and HSY1450. Between the 1949 and 1973 OS this early village of Gleadless, (which prior to 20th century urbanisation was at the core of an extensive system of strip fields), was and replaced with modern retail units and semi detached houses. Fragmentary legibility from 930 Gleadless Road which is a surviving cottage from the old village (rendered and much altered), the course of the street, and the rear property boundaries.
