The 1849 surveyed and 1854 published Ordnance Survey map shows that the now lost Mork Royd Lane led from the mid point of the similarly lost Pasture Lane, and led eastwards towards Eighteen Acres Plantation, Stubs Hall (today Stubs Farm) and the hamlet of Hamphall Stubs. At the midpoint of Mork Royd Lane was found a spring.

Rather questionably the entire area was redeveloped into industrial units, despite being entirely agricultural, and is lost to history. In November 1853 large areas of lands across the area were auctioned at the Chequers Inn (home of William Wilson) that were the freehold estate of the late George Booth. These included many closes of arable, pasture and meadow land, split up into lots, including lot 6, two closes of arable land known as Morkroyd Closes. The land was in the occupation of James Brook.
