Rossington Tornedale school is first depicted on the 1967 OS map. By 1982, other schools have been added in the area. Prior to this, the area was agricultural. OS maps from the 19th century depict strip fields probably consolidated from the furlongs of open fields. The field was called 'Park Field' on the 1st edition OS map of 1854. Along with 'Park Wood' and 'Park Closes' this strongly suggests the area may have been part of a medieval deer park. This was probably centred on Draw Dikes manor, held by the De Mauley family. The curving nature of Gattison Lane, which was continued by field boundaries may have represented part of the park boundary. Later development has obscured this but Gattison Lane remains. Legibility of the former landscape is fragmentary due to this.
