As we walk down CHRIST CHURCH ROAD through the avenue of lime and plane trees, you will notice the contrasting cream and red brickwork and the front doors paired under decorative gabled timber porches. This and the streets on either side were built in the park of Nether Hall from 1885 onwards. The houses on the left. though in terraces, were mostly built-in ones and twos to individual designs.

Christ Church Road was laid out as an avenue connecting Thorne Road with Nether Hall Road and Park Road ran across the Park joining Christ Church Road to East Laith Gate.

The first part of the Nether Hall Park Estate to be put on the market, the area between Christ Church Road and East Laith Gate - was sold off in a large number of plots. The last plot on Christ Church Road was built in 1888.

Notice the patterned terra-cotta panels on some of the houses.
