Housing (first depicted on 1965 maps) on an area of former parkland. The character of this area is dominated by 20th century housing but there was a pub and some houses here in the mid 19th century, which remain. This land was part of Stainborough Park which was developed after 1708 (see HSY6434) (Ashurst 1991,33). Prior to this it may have been an area of enclosed townfields. A 1730 estate map (on Wentworth Castle and Stainborough Park Heritage Trust 2006 - accessed 3/04/07) names this field Smithy Field which is likely to be a reference to the bloomery site just to the north of this polygon (see HSY6438). There is partial legibility of the ornamental landscape as ponds which were part of the park remain and the housing sits within the boundary of the parkland.
