Built for the World Student Games of 1991. The site was chosen in order to regenerate the area once occupied by the Brown Bayley's Steel Works. This works ( first depicted on the 1891 25 inch OS) grew at first along the railway line- later occupying most of this polygon until it closed down in 1983. The site was levelled in the late 1980s. The present Don Valley Stadium has been divided into two characterisation units. This unit shows an area which despite gradual encroachment of the Brown Bayley's work in the early twentieth century, was still largely residential until clearance during the 1980s. The area is within that shown as part of the nucleated settlement of Attercliffe on the 1851 OS, 1795 Fairbanks map, and 1771 Jefferys map. The plots shown on the 1851 OS indicate possible evolution from medieval burgage plots. By the 1891 25 inch OS it appears that earlier buildings are being replaced with typical bylaw terraced housing.
