Geometrically laid out housing estates with surrounding welfare facilities, allotment gardens etc. Built by 1930 on an area that was predominantly characterised by strip fields enclosed from medieval townfields. This was a substantial part of the expansion of Goldthorpe for colliery workers at the nearby mines. Many miners worked at Hickleton Main. (Hey 1981, 360). There is fragmentary legibility of the former strip fields as some of the housing fits within former field boundaries but may have been overwritten. Some of the terraced housing, particularly the more grid iron areas north of Barnburgh Lane, may be earlier than 1930.
