The Sheffield Technology park (1987) and Yorkshire Cable / Telewest offices (1994) give this area a high technology feel very characteristic of early 1990s architecture (dates from Harman and Minnis 2004). Development of this area was encouraged in order to regenerate an area which was largely wasteland following the clearance of a large area of terraced housing during the decline of the area in the 1970s and 1980s. The 1990s character of this area is reinforced by the line of Sheffield Supertram which bounds the area to the south. The grid iron layout of these streets has largely been lost with only Shirland Lane and Chippenham Street surviving. No legibility of early enclosed strips visible of early maps in present landscape.
