Swann-Morton's works are used to manufacture surgical blades. The site is shown as partially developed for a surgical instrument works on the 1952 OS map (1:1250). The historic OS maps, from the first edition 6 inch of 1855 onwards, show this as the site of the Sportsman Group's PH/hotel. Much of the land is shown as orchards and gardens to the hotel, which was situated on the Penistone Road frontage. The property lay within the historic core of the settlement at Owlerton, which is mentioned in the Domesday Book (farmstead by the alder trees). Legibility of the former character is invisible.
