Part of the Shire Green Estate. This polygon relates to the area to the north of the historic Shire Green once occupied by the hamlet of 'Nether Shire Green'. No legibility of the farmsteads survives in the present landscape none of the historic property boundaries being reflected by the boundary of or within this polygon . By 1851 the green is shown as enclosed by surveyed boundaries possibly dating to the 1789 enclosure of Ecclesfield and Greno Wood (English 1985). The Shiregreen Estate was completed in a Neo-Georgian style by the Sheffield Corporation in 1934. 4472 houses were built in the first wave thought at the time to be the biggest single estate built anywhere in the country (info from http://www.shiregreenurc.org.uk/history/ ...accessed 23 May, 2005) . The estate is semi geometric in plan with mostly gently curving streets of houses built in blocks of two and four.
