This area, was redeveloped 2004-2006 as a new campus for Doncaster College. The area, until between the period 1948-1972, lay on the north side of the historic course of the River Don / Cheswold. Archaeological evaluation trenches dug across this area prior to development (Brown, 2004) showed that medieval waterfront activity probably dating to the 13th and 14th was present on this north bank in addition to the better known presence to the south in the Fisher Gate quarter. The earliest map source consulted, dating to 1786 (in Ford 2006, Fig 4), shows this area as distinct from a piecemeal enclosure landscape to the north – possibly an area set aside as meadow land. This interpretation is supported by the map reproduced in Hunter’s South Yorkshire Volume 1 (Hunter 1828) which indicates marsh land in this area. By 1851 the area’s drainage may have been improved, as the OS does not indicate a ‘liability to flood’. The historic channel of the Don appears to have been in filled between 1930-1948 following the construction of a new ‘South Yorkshire Navigation’ channel to the north. This change appears to have opened up this land for development as a Cattle Market, depicted on 1972 and 1984 OS 1:10000 mapping before its demolition and use for car parking. No legibility of historic development of this area in the current landscape.
