Post war social housing, first depicted on 1965 maps, on land that was formerly part of Noblethorpe Park. Open cast mining was prevalent in the area from 1942 (Gray 1976, 42) and this estate may have been built to house the workforce. Jonas Clarke, a wiredrawer form Barnsley, bought the Hall in 1775 (HSY6335) (www.a2a.org.uk :-Records of the Clarke Family of Noblethorpe Hall, Silkstone). The park was developed in 1823 by Robert Clarke when the house was rebuilt and ornamental gardens were added (Barnsley Archive Service 1995, 160). There is fragmentary legibility of the former park. The boundary between the housing estate and the school to the east is the former park boundary marked on 1855 maps. Before the development of the park this land may have been part of the medieval crofts along the High Street.
