Rather a hotchpotch of buildings make up this polygon including a library, social club, churches, medical centres and some shops. They generally have an institutional character being facilities needed by the estate. The Methodist chapel is depicted on the 1967 OS map and the rest were probably constructed shortly after. Prior to this, the site was occupied by fields with straight and regular edges indicative of parliamentary enclosure. It was part of Bessacarr High Field and probably farmed as an open field prior to enclosure in 1779 by the 'Cantley, Branton, Bessacarr and (High) Ellers' award. Roman pottery kilns were excavated in the early 1950s ahead of the construction of the housing estate and form an important regional group. Legibility of the former landscape is invisible.
