The street has been part of the main route running south and west from York from the Roman Eboracum area onwards. The Roman road to Calcaria (now Tadcaster) and on to Londinium (London) ran immediately north-west of the current line of the street. Around the street, the area was used for burials and cremations. During the Mediaeval period, it the area was largely agricultural. In the 12th century, a chapel dedicated to Saint James was built on the street, near its current junction with Mill Mount, and in the 14th century, St Katherine's Hospital was constructed near the street's junction with Holgate Road. [1]
At the start of the English Civil War, an earthwork was constructed at what is now the street's junction with Albemarle Road. This saw service during the Siege of York, but was later levelled. [1] It is believed that it the name of the street refers to this earthwork. [2] In the late-17th century, there was a windmill on the street. [2]
In the 19th century, the street was built up with large houses. On the north-west side of the street are numerous trees. There was formerly a grass margin, used as grazing for cattle on their way to the city's market, but around 1800 they were replaced with cobbles, which survive and are now used for parking. [1]

Amon Henry Wilds was an English architect. He was part of a team of three architects and builders who—working together or independently at different times—were almost solely responsible for a surge in residential construction and development in early 19th-century Brighton, which until then had been a small but increasingly fashionable seaside resort on the East Sussex coast. In the 1820s, when Wilds, his father Amon Wilds and Charles Busby were at their most active, nearly 4,000 new houses were built, along with many hotels, churches and venues for socialising; most of these still survive, giving Brighton a distinctive Regency-era character, and many are listed buildings.

Preston is a city in Lancashire, England, that contains about 340 listed buildings. Its recorded history goes back to the Roman era, and in the medieval period it was a market town and a port, its first charter being granted in 1179. The city stands at the lowest crossing point of the River Ribble, which has given it great strategic importance. From the 16th century it was a centre for the spinning and weaving industries, and its greatest growth came from the 1770s with the development of steam power. By 1835 it contained 40 factories, and this had grown to 77 factories in 1869. Its population rose from about 12,000 in 1801 to about 69,000 in 1851, and one reflection of this was and this resulted in poor housing and social conditions. As a consequence of this there was fear of riots and other disturbances from the Chartists, the response to this being the building of Fulwood Barracks in the 1840s. There was much church building in the 19th century, including a number of notable Roman Catholic churches, reflecting the importance of Catholicism in the town and area. Later in the century and in the early 20th century the rise of civic pride and prosperity resulted in a number of notable civic buildings, particularly Fulwood Barracks. During the 20th century there was much clearing of slum properties, and of many other older buildings. The Preston Dock closed in the 1980s. Few of the 20th-century buildings have been listed, with the exception of the Central bus station and car park, which was opened in 1969 and had been threatened with demolition.
