Sewage works first mapped in 1903. Built on land marked as town lands which suggests that this was part of the medieval town field although this land may have been meadows. There is no legibility of the former landscape. The size of the works has reduced since 1989. There are several 'park' place names in the area, which may indicate there was a medieval deer park or ornamental park associated with Wombwell manor house. There is, however, no documentary evidence of a park.
