Municipal housing zones are found within the districts of Barnsley and Rotherham. Within Sheffield and Doncaster the zones have been separated into early and late municipal suburbs. Early 20th century estates tend to be built in radial patterns with housing consisting of semi detached properties or short row terraces. In Rotherham and Barnsley this pattern of housing tends to continue into the late 20th century. There are significantly fewer examples of large system built concrete blocks of flats compared with Sheffield and Doncaster.
