Council housing built in around 1938. This replaced a concentration of high density terraces consisting of some back-to-back houses. These houses had been built on Worsbrough Common by 1840 and were mostly linen weavers cottages with 2- 6 looms in each building (Hey 1981, 362). Some of these early building survived up to 1938 mapping. The former moorland was marked as enclosed by Jefferys 1775 map and was not part of the 1826 Worsbrough enclosure award (date from English 1985). There is fragmentary legibility of the regular enclosure patterns in the regular layout of the housing.
