Many of the buildings along this stretch of Attercliffe Common (which forms the main focus of Attercliffe today) are first depicted on the 1891 OS 25 inch to the mile mapping. They form the largest coherent group of buildings from this period surviving in the vicinity, much of the housing from this time having been demolished during the mid twentieth century. Important individual buildings include the Attercliffe Baths (1879) and Library (1887) provided municipally (Hey et al 1997, p77); three banks built between 1899 and 1905, Banners Department Store (1926) the Adelphi Cinema (1920) now a nightclub; and a number of fine retail outlets built for Burtons the Tailors and Boots the chemists (see Harman and Minnis 1994 for more detail). In addition this unit retains a number of public houses from the period as well as the older Britannia Inn (dated on the building 1772) by tradition the home of Benjamin Huntsman. The 1851 6 inch to the mile Ordnance Survey shows housing at the front of large (possible burgage) plots along this road (which is a historic route from Sheffield to Rotherham. While the most obvious location for the early medieval settlement core of Attercliffe is around the former village green (the triangle of land formed by Leeds Road, Attercliffe Road and Worksop Road - formerly known as 'Goose Turd Green'). It is possible that this area formed a part of the medieval settlement area. Legibility 'Significant' refers to the importance of the surviving elements in representing the former economic prosperity of the area.
