The recreation ground is, according to a local history website, common land following the Inclosure Act of 1793, which allocated this open space as a tenterfield. The only vestige of commoner's usage today is the horses that are sometimes to be seen grazing on the moor. The tower block in the distance, Burnsall Croft, was built in 1963 (along with two other similarly named blocks) and contains 99 flats (according to the UK Housing website).
