Site of the Newbridge Bleachworks which is first mentioned in Baines directory in 1822. The bleachery was owned by Richard Day a coal owner although work continued on the site after is death. Several employees lived on site. The date of closure is uncertain as the bleachery is not listed in 1877 directories but bleachworkers are listed as living at Littleworth in the 1881 census. (Taylor 1993, 54-6). The site is now covered with spoil heaps associated with Monk Bretton Colliery. The colliery was in operation between 1867 and 1968 (Hill 2006, 133-4). The railway lines associated with the colliery began to encroach on this area by 1906 maps. This land was formerly part of the medieval townfield that was enclosed into strips, there is no legibility of the past landscapes but significant legibility of the mine.
