This area of Ashton dates from the early years of Queen Victoria's reign, around 170 years ago. The narrow streets were lined mostly with small terraced houses which were demolished during a slum clearance programme during the late 1950s and early 1960s and have since been replaced by modern houses with gardens. The Trafalgar Inn, a community pub, is the only remaining building in the immediate area that dates back to Victorian times.
