Modern superstore on the site of the Old Mill Bleachworks. A bleachworks was developed by William Wilson in the mid 18th century. The 1777 enclosure map marks a single building as a dye works on the site. By 1840 the bleachworks was owned by Robert Craik who also ran East Gawber Hall Colliery and a pit at Silkstone Fall. Craik & Son were tenants at Greenfoot Bleachworks in 1871. By 1906 maps the site of the bleachworks at Old Mill was partially covered by the expanding paper mill (HSY8168). The paperworks continued to work until 1981. (Taylor 1993, 50-52). There is fragmentary legibility of the former industrial sites as the course of the Dearne and Dove Canal still runs along the west edge of the site.
