Built for the World Student Games of 1991. The site was chosen in order to regenerate the area once occupied by the Brown Bayley's Steel Works. This works ( first depicted on the 1891 25 inch OS) grew at first along the railway line- later occupying most of this polygon until it closed down in 1983. The site was levelled in the late 1980s. The present Don Valley Stadium has been divided into two characterisation units. This unit shows an area that was previously within the Attercliffe town field system.
