Modern detached housing built on former terraced houses built for colliery workers at Wharncliffe Silkstone Colliery. These houses were single story cottages with bedrooms in the roof space (Goodchild 2001, 72-3). Built between 1855 and 1893 and knocked down in around 1970. Before the construction of the miners houses this was an area of regular piecemeal enclosure of an uncertain date. It is marked as enclosed land on Jefferys map of 1775. There is no legibility of the previous uses of this site.
