 Three other changes took place around that time.To house miners who were moving into the area, particularly from Scotland, the National Coal Board built a new estate, known as "The Concrete Canyon" at Sandhill, Rawmarsh, and, to serve this, a new route between Parkgate and Kilnhurst was developed.This was then extended to the Woodman Inn, Swinton and subsequently to the Cresswell Arms, Swinton.
