Large privately built detached houses built on the site of the earliest phase of housing in Middlecliff. Middlecliff is a late 19th century miners settlement that is first mapped in 1893. As the Dearne Valley Colliery was not opened until 1901 the miner's were probably originally working at Houghton Main which opened in 1873 (Hill 2001, 111, 115). The village was built on an area of strip fields. There is no legibility of the enclosed landscape or the terraced houses.
