Constructed between the 1967 and 1987 Ordnance Surveys this modern estate is made up of staggered short terrace blocks with a small proportion of higher density low rise blocks. Prior to development this area is shown as allotment gardens from 1891 until 1967. The 1851 mapping shows a semi regular pattern of very straight boundaries which may indicate early surveyed enclosure. Scurfield's interpretation of John Harrison's 1637 survey (see Scurfield 1986) placed the area within the fields around Shirecliffe Hall - an area which Walton (1943) believed to have been lands enclosed from within the former Deer Park of the de Mountenay family at Shirecliffe. Land from the Hall and Park were being let as farmland as early as 1555. The mixture of perfectly straight and more sinuous boundaries on these plots in 1851 would support an interpretation that included the breaking up of the park first by piecemeal enclosures and later by surveyed subdivision.
