First appearance on OS 1965 1:10,000. 1965 1:10560 shows the area as allotment gardens. Previously this area was enclosed fields along the edge of the river Don. Artificial water channels shown on 1851 and 1891 OS indicate possible water meadows. Pre 1938 OS Allotment gardens are shown to the east, on land subsequently developed to industrial uses. Probably created to mitigate against the effect of this development.
