Social housing consisting of low rise and high rise flats, built by 1974 mapping. This area was part of the housing clearance schemes of the 1950s and 60s. The former terraced housing consisted of some back-to-back proprieties in the north of the polygon. In the 1840s there were large numbers of weaving cottages within this area with most buildings along Cooper Street (which is now overwritten by houses) and Union Street having between 2 and 5 looms per cottage. (Taylor 1995, 43). These would have been linen weaving cottages with basement workshops. Prior to the terracing this was an area of surveyed enclosure that was part of the 1779 Barnsley enclosure award (date from English 1985). This land was enclosed from Warren common. The housing is built within the enclosure field pattern so legibility of the past landscape is partial. The route of Union Street survives from the earlier phase of housing but the grid iron layout of the former terraces has been overwritten.
