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, 49-50). Late twentieth century rebuilding of commercial premises around ‘Bower Lane’ (Boar Lane on 18th century mapping). This lane which provides a shortcut into the market place from the south may be an early component of the town plan. Partial legibility of historic right of way.
