The area was bounded by the disused Rogerton Quarry, railway lines and Back Rogerton Farm. The creation of this was necessitated by the removal of many miners and their families from the substandard housing of smaller mining villages in the area.

Part of Well Road, Auchinleck follows the edge of the former site of Rogerton Quarry. The quarry itself is now a public park housing the MUGA (Multi-Use Games Area).
