The southern side of Barleycroft road consists of a long burgage plot which has been progressively subdivided across its width to form smaller plots in the manner described by the 'Burgage Cycle' concept developed by Conzen (Whitehand 2001, 105). In the area of Barleycroft road described her this process of subdivision dates to the early decades of the twentieth century with the construction within the larger plot of around 17 terraced houses and their toilet blocks. Within plots to the north and south are larger institutional buildings including a 'Middleton Institute'. Partial legibility of medieval burgage divisions.
