This area of Swinton, away to the east of the historic core of the village grew in the second half of the 19th century between the industrial buildings of the pottery and glass industries and the railway station. The majority of the buildings are terraced and date to this period although the period 1967-1986 saw much demolition around Bridge Street and here there are later buildings and car parking. No legibility of the earlier piecemeal enclosure landscape.
