First edition maps (1855) name fields in this vicinity as Old Bleach Croft. The exact extent of these fields, which were used to hang out the cloth as part of the bleaching process, is uncertain. Joseph and William Green are named as bleachers in Worsbrough Dale in Pigot and Co.'s Directory of 1828-29, 897 [online]. This bleachworks is still in use in 1841 when it is named as Kingwell in Pigot and Co.'s Directory 1841, 7 [online] (University of Leicester 2004 [accessed 16/08/07]). After the bleachery fell out of use the bleach crofts probably returned to agricultural use, they had change little from the earlier assarts. By 1893 mapping the area was covered with terraced housing, which was probably built to house miners. This housing survived until around 1989 when it was mostly replaced with semi-detached private housing estates. Some terraces remain along the main road and the modern housing mostly fits within the area of the old terraces, so legibility of the former landscape is partial. The terraces were connected to Barnsley town by electric tram in 1902. The tram line ran down Park Road. The trams ceased to operate in 1930. (Polding 1998, 75, 77).
