A business park consisting of modern units built on the site of Manvers Main Colliery. The first shaft was sunk at Manvers in 1868. The colliery closed in 1988. Coal from the different pits at the colliery was transported along several train lines to a centralised coal preparation plant. The colliery was in the centre of the South Yorkshire coalfields and formed part of a massive industrial complex which also included coke ovens and rail yards. Prior to this the land was probably agricultural consisting of fields enclosed by the Wath Upon Dearne parliamentary enclosure award of 1814. Legibility of the former landscape is invisible.
