Once a small field called Bridge Croft, according to Aldrington's 1840 tithe map, that was squeezed between the railway to the north and the former Aldrington Farm to the south and named after a nearby railway bridge. In 1914 a factory was built here and operated by HJ Green & Co, the dessert makers, who stayed until moving north to Rotherham in 1978. Consequently, the old buildings were demolished and replaced by these business units.
