First appears on 1980s Ordnance Survey (Vacant Plot on 1973 survey). Likely to have been a concurrent development with the closure of Moorgate General Hospital to the east (part of the plot traditionally gardens of the institution. Now a supported housing scheme around a community building. Previous to the 1970s clearance of the site this plot was the site of a Malthouse shown on the 1851 and 1771 surveys but not the 1764 survey. Probably associated with Rotherham Old Brewery.
