Municipal buildings in the corner of Elmfield park including the Registry Office and a community centre. The community centre is based in Elmfield House. This dates to the early 19th century and sat in its own private parkland, which now forms the public park. It was bought by Doncaster Corporation in 1923. Prior to this, the area was agricultural. Land adjacent on the 1st edition OS map is shown as strip fields and it is likely that this area once consisted of strips consolidated from an open field. Legibility of the former character is significant as Elmfield House still stands in parkland.
