The original settlement of Buttershaw was about 1 mile (1.6 km) to the east. The settlement moved west in the 19th century with the building of Bottomley’s Mill and the construction of workers’ cottages adjacent to the existing settlement of Beck Hill. The construction of the council estate moved the centre of the district northward on to what was then farm land.
