Business Park which built up after the closure of local collieries and manufacturing sites. Built on land that was part of the estate around Birthwaite Hall (HSY6581). This area of parkland was still relatively intact until the 1960s after which point the land was split up. The date of formation of the parkland is uncertain. There was possibly an elite residence in this area since the medieval period although its original development is unknown. In 1258 (42 Henry III) there was reference to the manor of Birthwaite (Hunter 1831, 376) but Hunter didn't believe this to be a substantial residence until the mid 16th century when Francis Burdet lived there. This may be when the park was formed. Prior to this the land may have been part of the Medieval townfields belonging to Kexbrough which were enclosed at some point in the post-medieval period. There is no legibility of any of the former land uses.
