Area of mixed date consisting of commercial properties. The area was part of the housing clearance schemes of the 1960s and 70s. In the 1840s there were large numbers of weaving cottages within this area with many buildings having between 2 and 6 looms per cottage (Taylor 1995, 43). These would have been linen weaving cottages with basement workshops. Prior to the terracing this was an area of surveyed enclosure that was part of the 1779 Barnsley enclosure award (date from English 1985). This land was enclosed from Warren common. The housing is built within the enclosure field pattern. There are a number of early 20th century buildings surviving and many of the more modern buildings have been built within the layout of the terraces so legibility of the past landscape is significant.
