These cottages date from the sinking of Thomas North's Newcastle Colliery (on land owned by The Duke of Newcastle) in 1853. The colliery, which was directly ahead, behind the terrace, closed in 1928, but a landsale wharf, where coal brought by rail from Cinderhill Colliery was supplied to coal merchants, survived until c. 1966 (it is still shown on 1967 OS maps). The houses of Staindale Drive and Wensleydale Close are built on the site of the wharf and associated railway sidings.
