Allotment gardens surrounded by housing and a school. Roughly corresponds to 'Tinkers Close', shown on the 1764 Rotherham Inclosure map. Has remained undeveloped land since then. First shown as allotments on 1923 25inch map. The allotments were known by the school children as the 'cabbage patches'. When Arthur Young visited the Rotherham area in the 1760s he was particularly taken by the cabbages grown by Samuel Tooker on his land at Moorgate which averaged 10lb with some reaching 20lb or 30lb! (Munford 2000, 100) 'What gave me much greater satisfaction than the iron works of Rotherham was the cabbage culture of Samuel Tucker, Esq who lives just out of town' Young quoted in Casson, 1995, 40. Three acres of cabbages were cultivated- winter sown being the best and used to feed milk cows, weaned calves and fattening beasts.
