Industrial site which first developed as the Rockingham Gas Works in 1894. By the 1960s the site was used as workshops by the National Coal Board. It is now home to other businesses. The site was formerly surveyed enclosure of Birdwell Common. It was probably enclosed as part of the Worsbrough parliamentary award of 1826 (date from English 1985). There is partial legibility of former enclosed landscape as site fits within earlier field boundaries.
