Site first established by Pilkington's in 1922 to process glass from elsewhere. Most of this site occupied by 1932. Glass making still occupies a major part of this site in one long building erected as an expansion to the west of the original factory in the mid twentieth century, although the early phases of the factory appear to have been demolished between 1967 and 1982. Site now known as Kirk Sandall Industrial Estate and occupied by a number of businesses. Fragmentary legibility of earlier works likely. Earlier landscape likely to have been largely valley floor meadows.
