Sheltered housing and an old persons home built around the same time as the surrounding geometric planned estate built by the council as improved colliery workers housing. Integrated within the site is part of a building dating to around 1767 built by John Carr for his nephew John Clarke (Listed Building No. 333765). This survival gives partial legibility of the past landscape. William Blythman, who was one of the Commissioners for Monk Bretton Priory at the Dissolution of the Monasteries, bought the Priory and the grange New Laithes (as New Lodge was then called) and build a house our of stone from the Priory (SMRPIN 3521). There would have been earlier buildings on the site and it is possible this took the form of a moated site (SMRPIN 3522) which suggests it was an elite residence.
