Some houses built by 1938 maps but roads are laid out for the rest of the estate. Probably built as social housing for the local mining community. Built on an area of surveyed enclosure of a former medieval open field. This was probably enclosed as part of the 1767 Wombwell enclosure award (date from English 1985). There is fragmentary legibility of the former enclosed landscape in the external boundaries of the estate but no internal divisions survive.
