The earliest part of Percy Bond Houfton's Woodlands colliery village, 'The Park' is a development of houses built within and surrounding a preserved section of a late 18th / early 20th century landscape park, originally associated with a large house called 'Woodlands' to the south east. The park is not depicted by Jefferys map of 1775, but is shown by the 1851 OS. Now part of a Doncaster MBC conservation area.
