The semi-detached brick built houses date from around the 1930s.
Sunnybank of Greetland is believed to be the oldest house in Calderdale [1290]. The building still exists today, the original oak cross-members are still in place, but the infillings of daub, or dung, or clay have been replaced with local stone. The original name of the house was Over Nabroyd, but was changed to its present name by the vicar of Halifax Thomas Wilkinson (1438-1480).
Still standing 2003.
