Terraced houses built along what would have been the main road through this area before the construction of the motorway. There was a shorter terrace behind the surviving houses which was still extant in 1983. There was also a school within the current gardens of these properties. These houses would have been occupied by miners at the nearby Higham Colliery (HSY6420) which was later amalgamated with Dodworth Colliery. Historic maps show very regular enclosures on this land. This was probably part of the Darton and Barugh Parliamentary enclosure award of 1823 (date from English 1985). The area was still unenclosed common in 1775 (Jefferys 1775). There is fragmentary legibility of the former landscape as the housing follows the earlier road.
