An area dominated by terraced housing, mostly built at the end of the 19th century. Blake Street has the reputation of being the steepest street in Sheffield. Halfway down the hill stands 28 Brandeth Close. This is a survival from before the terraces and is marked on the 1st Edition OS map of 1855 as Upperthorpe (and later White) Cottages. The cottages stood in an area of small garden plots or allotments. The central boundary between the allotments later became Blake Street. Prior to this the area was shown as fields. Legibility is fragmentary as some housing still exists and boundaries have been fossilised.
