Semi detached housing estate built in a period when the chemical works at Barugh was still in operation. Built on fields which were associated with a linen works and bleachery at Redbrook. These fields would have been used to lay out the linen between chemical treatments. The bleachworks was in operation from about 1790, leased by John Pickering a linen manufacturer. By 1871 linen weaving was also carried out on the site and by 1912 some dying was also taking place. Bleaching had probably stopped by 1929 and textile manufacturing by 1957. (Taylor 1993, 52-4). There is no legibility of the former industrial site but there is fragmentary legibility of the earlier assarted woodland as the housing estate sites within the former field boundaries.
