Bleaching greens associated with Hoyle Mill Bleachworks (HSY8062) and Beevor Bleachworks (HSY8058). These were both in operation in the late 18th/ 19th century, closing in the late 1840s - 50s (Taylor 1993, 28-32, 40-42). Prior to the formation of the bleaching greens this was an area of piecemeal enclosure. The land was enclosed prior to the drawing up of the 1777 parliamentary award map and is located on the edge of land known as Swinhill which was a medieval open field (Elliot 2002, 37). This land was probably part of the open field system. There is partial legibility of the former field systems.
