Shown as fields on the 1795 Fairbanks plan but completely developed by the time of the 1st edition OS map in 1855. This area contained small steel making enterprises, workshops and back to back housing. Much of the area was cleared between 1938 and the 1960s with rebuilding resulting in the depopulation of the area and the closure of Doncaster's Steelworks. One cementation furnace cone remains of this works and is a Scheduled Ancient Monument. The grid iron street pattern of the earlier urban landscapes have been retained, giving partial legibility of historic form.
