This area was developed at the time of construction of the Don Valley Link Road, which improved the road from Meadowhall and the M1 to the city centre. The polygon includes two large roundabouts around the Arena site as well as the 'Arena Square Public House', a large hotel and a call centre for Freemans catalogue business (info from Forging the Valley by Hey et al, 1997). The area was occupied by high density terraced housing between 1891 and 1985 built on a grid iron plan. The site was previously parliamentary enclosure of Attercliffe Common.
