Planned housing estate first depicted on the 1938 6 inch OS map. Prior to this the area is noted as sports grounds. The 1855 to 1923 OS maps show the area as surveyed enclosures, probably at the time of the Brightside Enclosure award. A footpath shown on the 1923 25 inch OS map travelling from northwest to southeast leads to Norwood Rise, a farm in the adjacent polygon. The footpath marks the pre-enclosure field boundary as shown on the Fairbanks plan of 1795. No trace of the footpath now exists and the legibility is invisible. Prior to piecemeal enclosure, the area probably formed part of Shirecliffe Park.
