This planned Edwardian suburb is made of mostly very large red brick semi-detached houses, mostly with status embellishments such as front gardens (rather than forecourts), short driveways, stone walls, porches, bargeboards, bay windows and rear gardens. In other elements they are stylistically and morphologically similar to larger terraced houses and show many similarities to more humble 'bylaw terrace' styles. The main roads within this polygon (Bannerdale and Carter Knowle Road are shown as laid out (presumably to encourage a developer), by the 1891 25 inch OS survey, and developed by 1905 (by which time the tramway along Abbeydale Road had been introduced). Carter Knowle Road joins the former 'Holt House Road' (now also 'Carter Knowle Road' and provides a link between Abbeydale Road (1803 Sheffield - Bakewell Turnpike (Smith 1997)) and Banner Cross. This area forms a very coherent group with the contemporary Carter Knowle Road Junior School HSY 1903 (probable board school). Significant legibility of earlier vernacular cottages dating to the mid 19th century surviving at 186-194 Carter Knowle Road in addition to older boundary divisions.
