The plot was developed in 1850 as part of Rockingham Station on the London + North Western Railway to house the locomotive shed until the station was closed in 1966 and the railway dismantled.

The surviving locomotive shed forms the focal point of the redevelopment master plan, which proposes housing and offices along a new road into the site and an open square in front of a new farm shop in the converted shed.
