The factory now occupying this site first appeared on 1965 maps. It was a producer of plastic films and closed in 2005. This was built on the site of the Darton Main Colliery which dominated this and the surrounding area in the early 20th century. The mine opened in 1914 and was closed in 1938 (Gill 2007b). This extractive site erased all traces of the former landscape which consisted of regular piecemeal enclosure of the probable townfields of Kexbrough and Darton leaving no legibility of the landscape.
