The principal boundaries of this polygon were not established until the late 1980s with the construction of Eckington way to the east and Owlthorpe Greenway to the south as part of the major infrastructure investments that followed the development of Mosborough and Beighton after its absorption into Sheffield in the 1970s. The playing fields only preserve fragmentary evidence of relict strip field boundaries. Much of area quarried for sand during early and mid 20th century.
