Probably council housing built in around 1960. This replaced a concentration of high density terraces. Several of the rows consisted of back-to-back houses. These houses had been built on Worsbrough Common by 1840 and were mostly linen weavers cottages with 2- 6 looms in each building (Hey 1981, 362). The former moorland was marked as enclosed by Jefferys 1775 map and was not part of the 1826 Worsbrough enclosure award (date from English 1985). There is partial legibility of the regular enclosure patterns in the regular layout of the housing and the modern rows of houses follow the same orientation as the previous cottages.
