Built between the publication of the 1985 1:10000 OS and the 1999 Cities Revealed aerial photograph of Sheffield, these low rise nursing home blocks are situated on previously undeveloped land adjacent to the former Woodhouse Colliery site. The semi regular enclosures shown on this mapping are similar to those to the south west of the former Gleadless Common and may represent the piecemeal enclosure of common land referred to in the nearby place name 'Intake'. The land probably ceased to be put to agricultural use with the construction of Ridgeway Road in the 1930s.
