Industrial Estate built on the site of the former Barugh Coke and By-product Works. The coke ovens and chemical works were opened in 1913 by the Old Silkstone Collieries company. Coke from this site was shipped to the large iron and steelworks in the North and the Midlands via the adjacent railway. A number of products were produced from the by-products of the coke. A Coalite (low temperature) works was also built in 1929 to produce smokeless fuel oil from coal. The chemical plants remained working until 1961. (Barugh Green and District Local History Group 1989). Prior to the industrial site this was an area of assarted enclosures. There is no legibility of the landscapes prior to the construction of the industrial estate.
