Housing built by the council for local miners, marked on 1931 maps. Built on an area of surveyed enclosure that was probably part of the 1794 parliamentary award (date from English 1985, 99). On 1775 maps this area is marked as unenclosed common. There is fragmentary legibility of the surveyed countryside. Rotherham Road was originally known as New Road and would have been laid out along with the new field boundaries as would Carlton road. There are some earlier surviving houses along Carlton Road.
