Slater's town plan analysis of Doncaster (in Buckland 1989), interprets the triangular market place and the three ranges of plots around it (Market Place) as originating in one coherent (re)planning episode. Slater bases this interpretation on the apparent diversion of an earlier street (High Fishergate / East Laithe Gate) into the market place and the possible truncation of plots along the east side of High Street to form new plots facing the market place. Slater conjecturally suggests that this re-planning occurred around the 1190s at a time concurrent with the granting of increased urban privileges to the town (ibid p49-50). This area of the market place only contains one permanent building the ‘Wool Market’ of 1861-3 (Listed building legal description). Earlier maps (see figures in Ford 2006) show the area of this building as occupied by a continuation of the pattern of burgage plots that make up the eastern side of Market Place and conjecturally first laid out in the 1190s (see above). The remaining area of this polygon has been largely open space since 1786, with its land use described first as a ‘Tithe Yard’ (1828 town plan) and later as a ‘Corn’ and ‘Cattle Market’. The area is currently utilised for car parking and traditional itinerant stalls. Partial legibility of the exterior boundaries of the late 12th century market place.
