First urbanised between 1775 and 1852, this area retains much of the original form of its development with small terraced shop units. Most buildings in place by 1891. New Mexborough grew in response to the growth of industrial activity in the 19th century Lower Don and Dearne river valleys. This part of the development took in the southern edge of Dolcliffe Common. Includes a Victorian 'Market Place' and Hall as well as the original building of the Montague Cottage Hospital and 'Majestic Cinema' (originally a Victorian Methodist chapel).
