A house is shown on the site Oliver's 1830 map, which may have been owned or occupied by John Steavenson, lessee of the Trustees of the Baptist Chapel, Tuthill Stairs (HER 6685).

Description
A two-storey property whose ground floor and entrance was lower than the level of the road. Both number 2 and number 4 were single-roomed dwelling occupied by 2 or 3 adults. Mill House was a much taller structure, with four rooms, built into a steep bank. The occupant was Elizabeth Carr, recorded in the 1891 census as a 'bread sampler-baker' who worked at the nearby flour mill (HER 5161). In 1901 she was caretaker of the flour mill. In 1891 there were a total of 15 rooms occupied by 37 people, including a carter, a chain horse driver, an earthenware presser, two transferrers in an earthenware manufactory, a road paver, a blacksmith, a labourer. Behind Mill House was Dolman's Yard.

Culvert (or similar) formed of sandstone blocks and slabs found in the back garden of No. 10 in 2006 when the house owner was excavating a pond. The tunnel measuring 2 feet wide by 2 feet high and the top of the structure was around 4 feet below ground level. Probably industrial related as the site lies only 44m south of Henry Pit (HER 4181). The feature was covered over before it could be recorded.
