Modern Retail park on site reclaimed from spoil area of Aldwarke Main Colliery. 1853 map evidence shows a pattern of enclosed strip fields within which is a 'brick works'. By 1891 this brickworks is shown as producing sanitary pies and bricks and is supporting a small community within grid iron terraced housing. By 1904 the brickyard appears to have been exhausted and later maps indicate back filling of the pits and the laying out of railway sidings. By the 1985 OS these have disappeared and much of the polygon OS shown as a refuse or slag heap.
