Small industrial estate comprising mainly garages and automotive industries amongst other businesses. On the 1st edition OS map of 1854 the area is marked as a gravel pit and on later maps as a quarry. The first buildings are depicted on the 1972 OS map. Before this the area consisted of agricultural land. The original pattern of enclosures was probably created by a programme of drainage on Balby Carr. This resulted in a series of fields aligned on the drainage ditches. Legibility of the former landscape is invisible.
