Site of Neepsend Gasworks, first depicted on Ordnance survey maps in 1891. The complex featured 4 large gasometers. Site cleared between 1973 and 1984. Regenerating as scrubland -fragmentary legibility of demolished gasworks site. Historically this area is part of a possible town field 'Farfield' to the west of Neepsend Hamlet. This polygon fossilises the boundaries of two piecemeal enclosures (shown on the 1808 Fairbanks plan of 'The Town of Sheffield') which may have been created from enclosing parcels of strips. By 1851 these fields had been further subdivided in to a grid of small garden plots. Neville Flavell (2004) has argued that Sheffield pioneered the workers garden that became the template for the modern allotment garden. The claim made against the Sheffield Water Company by William Sutcliffe (owner of the nearby Farfield Inn in 1864 when it was flooded by the Dale Dike disaster) includes a list of 45 separate tenants of garden plots (Sheffield Flood Claims Archive Online claim 4236).
