Laid out and developed between 1891 and 1905 this development is a hybrid of villa development type large semi detached individual houses to the west of Derbyshire Lane and more standard (slightly later) terraced houses to the east. There has continued to be infilling of occasional plots up until the present day. Earlier maps show that the large residence Cliffefield House was formerly located at SK 3481 8406 until its demolition, presumably in advance of construction of the present estate. Little survives from the earlier landscape. Placename 'Cliffefield' may relate to a former open field to the west of Derbyshire lane where the polygon is bounded by a dramatic escarpment of the Greenmoor or Brincliffe Edge Sandstone.
