This estate is first depicted on the 1976 6 inch OS map although a few houses along Roscoe Bank were built in the 1930s. The area remained largely rural until this point with a pattern of regular fields created through parliamentary enclosure in 1805. The name Hollins Lane is probably taken from Hollins Farm, shown on the 1st Edition OS map of 1855 which appears to have been cleared for the estate. Some ganister and coal mining is depicted within the area in the 1920s and 1930s. Scurfields (1986) reconstruction of Harrison's 1637 survey suggests the area was a wood common prior to enclosure. Legibility is invisible.
