Planned housing estate built by 1931 maps. Built by the council to house miners and their families that would have worked at the many collieries in the area. Previously an area of regular enclosure likely to be part of the 1763 parliamentary award (date from English 1985) which enclosed 300 acres of common. There is fragmentary legibility of this field pattern as the housing is partially built within fields. There has been some demolition of houses in the centre of this estate to leave open green spaces.
