"The original use of this area as listed in the 1847 awards was for impounding stray cattle and horses and held by the pinder until a fee was paid,namely " a pinfold". Totley and District Environment Society created and funded this project in the late 1970's, assistance with labour was by students of Totley Polytechnic College. The water troughs were raised from their original position 8 feet below the present ground level. These had been fed from a spring. They were buried beneath tipped rubbish for almost forty years. Ownership is by the residents of Totley." From a descriptive plaque in the garden
