This area of playing fields surrounded by small stands of regenerative scrub is first shown on the 1988 OS mapping. Prior to this, there were allotments here that were established by the 1920s, but were being used as a 'Refuse tip or Slag heap' by the 1950s. This area is shown as being within Wincobank Wood until the 1891 OS 25 inch plan. No legibility of these earlier types survives.
