Built on the site of former Railway sidings along the railway line through Carbrook this complex is described by Harman and Minnis as "Large, almost windowless blocks but with a coherent identity" (2004,202). This area formerly surveyed enclosure of Attercliffe Common. 1891-1968 shows semi-detached housing first called 'Huntsman's Buildings' and later called 'Railway Cottages' on the south western part of this polygon.
