One of the new industrial villages founded to the south of the Stocksbridge works in the late 19th century which eventually amalgamated to form the modern community of Stocksbridge. This area is based on a historic network of lanes originally linking dispersed farmsteads set in a landscape of piecemeal enclosure. Elements of some of these farmsteads (which may be much older in date) appear to survive to give partial legibility of the earlier rural landscape. This sub-settlement appears to have clustered around a sandstone quarry.
