First edition maps (1855) name the Old Bleach Croft. Joseph and William Green are named as bleachers in Worsbrough Dale in Pigot and Co.'s Directory of 1828-29, 897 [online]. This bleachworks is still in use in 1841 when it is named as Kingwell in Pigot and Co.'s Directory 1841, 7 [online] (University of Leicester 2004 [accessed 16/08/07]). The reservoir associated with the bleachery survived until 1907. The buildings, which may have been part of the bleachworks, were replaced by modern housing by 1989. There is no legibility of the previous landscapes.
