Modern detached housing estate built after the closure of Wharncliffe Silkstone Colliery which dominated this area previously. The mine finished extraction coal in 1967 but remained as a pumping station until 1988 (Gill 2007b). This polygon contained the coke ovens associated with the mine from 1893. Before this the area was made up of regular piecemeal enclosure of an uncertain date, but which was enclosed by 1775 (Jefferys 1775). There is no legibility of any of the former uses of this site.
