This area of grid iron planning represents two main phases of development but represents one closely coherent unit of present historic character. The oldest homes within the area are to be found on Marshall Road, Bromwich Road, Mitchell Road, Linburn Road, and Tyzack Road. This area of distinct grid pattern was laid out between the dates of publication of the 1882 and 1899 25 inch Derbyshire Ordnance Survey and initially divided into large plots typical of later 19th century suburban villa developments. In 1899 only a few of these large plots are occupied. By 1924 this area was fully developed to a higher density than the initial layout suggested mostly with large terraced houses and semi detached homes. The remaining areas of the polygon were completed with more regular terraced developments by 1924. Area enclosed piecemeal with wooded hedgerows depicted by 1882.
