About Doncaster - show infohide info

Doncaster is a town of 286,866 inhabitants, in the county of South Yorkshire. The town is the hub of the Metropolitan Borough of Doncaster. Despite its population, Doncaster is not a city, having been rejected city status several times. Doncaster is located on the site of a 1AD Roman Fort, built as a crossing for the river Don. Caster is the Roman word for 'fort' hence the name Doncaster. The town was rebuilt by the Normans after their invasion of England. As the 12th century approached, Doncaster matured into a bustling market town; gaining recognition when Richard I granted the town a Royal Charter in 1194. Doncaster continued to grow, though in 1204 was devastated by a large fire. Despite this, the town recovered and remained a bustling market town. During the 16th and 17th centuries, Doncaster continued to expand despite the outbreak of the plague from 1562 until 1606. Every time a new wave hit, significant numbers of Doncaster's population were struck down by the illness. From around the 16th century, Doncaster embraced the profitable stagecoach trade, thus facilities for horses developed, which in turn led to the development of Doncaster as a horse racing town. Doncaster has always been a communications centre, with the main A1 road passing through the town, several waterways and later the railways all being important in the town. During the Industrial Revolution, Doncaster was heavily involved in the coal mining trade, with coal being carried up the River Don and the Don Navigation to reach the major steel production centres of Rotherham, Scunthorpe and Sheffield. The railways had a large hub in the town, with a number of railway works springing up in the town. Some of Britian's best known locos were built in Doncaster, including 'Mallard' and the 'Flying Scotsman'. Today, Doncaster is still a large rail hub, though most of the railway works and goods facilities have been demolished. Doncaster currently sees rail services to locations including London Kings Cross, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Hull, York, Leeds, Cleethorpes, Middlesborough, Newcastle, Sheffield and Manchester. Doncaster also has an airport - Robin Hood Doncaster-Sheffield Airport, which sees services to sunshine and popular tourist destinations, operated mainly by Thomsonfly. Other airlines serving the airport include Thomas Cook, Ryanair, easyJet (winter only), BH Air and Pegasus. Nearby towns include Sheffield, Barnsley, Huddersfield, Rotherham, Scunthorpe, Wakefield, Retford and Worksop.
