Planned housing estate built by 1984 maps. This replaced a complex of buildings marked as Birk House. Birk House is referred to in a deed dating to 1544 (www.a2a.org [accessed 18/12/07] Ref: SY293/Z/1/1). The date of construction of the building is uncertain. In the late 19th century a small area of private park land/ gardens was developed in the surrounding area.
