The road running along the opposite bank of the river is Nursery Street - until the 19th century there was a nursery garden here. The church was formerly the Wicker Holy Trinity, declared redundant by the Church of England in 1973 and now leased to the New Testament Church of God. Beyond that is Aizlewood's Mill, a former flour mill built in 1861 by John Aizlewood, a Rotherham miller. Milling ceased in 1969 and the building was very nearly demolished in the 1980s by which time it was in a very poor state of repair; it has been restored, however, and is now a business centre incorporating 57 units.
