Doncaster Local Plan: Archaeological Scoping Assessment Allocation Reference: 400 Area (Ha): 1.16 Allocation Type: Housing NGR (centre): SE 6074 0228 Site Name: Rose Hill Cemetery Lane, Cantley Lane Settlement: Doncaster Urban Area Allocation Recommendations Archaeological significance of site Unknown Historic landscape significance Uncertain Suitability of site for allocation Uncertain archaeological constraint Summary Within site Within buffer zone Scheduled Monument - - Listed Building - - SMR record/event 2 records 3 records Cropmark/Lidar evidence No Yes Cartographic features of interest No Yes Estimated sub-surface disturbance Low n/a www.archeritage.co.uk Page 1 of 4 Doncaster Local Plan: Archaeological Scoping Assessment Allocation Reference: 400 Area (Ha): 1.16 Allocation Type: Housing NGR (centre): SE 6074 0228 Site Name: Rose Hill Cemetery Lane, Cantley Lane Settlement: Doncaster Urban Area Site assessment Known assets/character: The SMR records two monuments within the site, both continuing into the buffer. One findspot is recorded within the buffer. The site is at the northwest edge of an area where many pottery kilns have been recorded, associated with a major pottery industry concentrated to the east of Doncaster in the Roman period. The supposed route of a major Roman road from Lincoln to York, via Bawtry and Doncaster, runs through the site and buffer on a southeast to northwest alignment, though its exact location has not been proved within this area and remains speculative. A Roman coin was found in a field near the crematorium, near the northeast edge of the buffer. No Scheduled Monuments or listed buildings are recorded within the site or buffer zone. The Magnesian Limestone in South and West Yorkshire Aerial Photographic Mapping Project did not record any features within the site. Within the northern part of the buffer zone, earthworks and structures associated with a rifle range were recorded on a photograph dated to 1946, in an area since built over. Historic Environment Characterisation records the present character of the site and the northern part of the buffer as Rosehill Cemetery, created in the late 1950s with no legibility of former piecemeal enclosures. The cemetery was probably established in association with early to mid-20th-century housing development in the area. Further character zones within the buffer include plantations to the southeast of the site, private and social housing estates and detached houses to the north, west and south, and Parliamentary Enclosure fields at the northwest edge. The site is currently a grassed field/verge area to the north of Cantley Lane, with a tall hedge/tree boundary separating it from the cemetery to the north. A small area of car parking is at the northwest edge, and a drive to the crematorium runs through the southeast corner. The northwest boundary is formed by Ascot Avenue. Cartographic/historic land use assessment: The 1854 OS map shows the site as the southwest end of a larger field, with the southwest boundary formed by Sand Road. A lane to Wilby ran through the southeast side of the site on a northeast-southwest alignment, and the drive running through the southeast corner was shown, forming an entrance to the parkland associated with Cantley Hall. The 1892 map showed a small enclosure and adjacent structure, possibly a barn, within a wooded area at the southeast end of the site, south of the Wilby lane. Between 1903 and 1930, loss of boundaries meant that the site was part of one much larger field. The lane to Wilby was still shown. By 1937, the current northern boundary was depicted, and the Wilby lane had been removed. The western boundary had been established by 1960, when Ascot Avenue was first shown, and by that date the site was shown in its current layout. The small barn structure shown in 1892 was depicted as a 'ruin' in 1960. Within the buffer, the 1854 OS map showed a lodge to the immediate southeast of the site, surrounded by Lodge Plantation. The lodge was adjacent to a drive leading into Cantley Park. The remaining area was fields, some to the north of the Sand Road having sinuous boundaries and recorded as Micklehill Field, whilst those to the south of the road were regular in shape and suggestive of Parliamentary Enclosure from commons. Rose Hill was shown at the western edge of the buffer. Between 1903 and 1930, the area to the south of Sand Road (now Cantley Lane) was developed with detached housing in well spaced garden plots. Denser housing was shown in the western part of the buffer. The South Yorkshire Joint Railway had been constructed at the western side of the buffer, and a rifle range was shown to the north of the site. Rose Hill Cemetery had been established to the north of the site by 1937, with a mortuary chapel and entrance lodge. A crematorium was shown to the east of the cemetery, accessed via the drive from Cantley Lodge, by 1960. At that date, housing covered the former rifle range to the north of the site. Other than further housing infill, the buffer remained unchanged by 1993. www.archeritage.co.uk Page 2 of 4 Doncaster Local Plan: Archaeological Scoping Assessment Survival: No evidence for sub-surface disturbance has been shown on any of the historic maps or aerial photographs. The potential for the survival of unrecorded buried archaeology within the site is considered to be moderate. Roman pottery kilns, associated settlement and agriculture have been recorded within the area, and a supposed route of a Roman road runs through the site. Further investigations: Further archaeological investigations are likely to be required if the site is brought forward for development. Significance: Unknown. Remains associated with the Roman road and pottery industries could be of Local to Regional significance depending on their extent, nature and condition. Note: Site 400 covers the same area as slightly smaller site 473. Aerial Photographs & Lidar Summary: The 2002-2015 aerial photographs show the site as a grassed field/verge area to the north of Cantley Lane, with a tall hedge/tree boundary separating it from the cemetery to the north. A small area of car parking is located at the northwest edge, and a drive to the crematorium runs through the southeast corner, which contains trees that may form part of Lodge Plantation. The northwest boundary is formed by Ascot Avenue. The area to the north of the site is shown as grave plots, but no evidence for graves continuing into the site is visible. The 2008 aerial view showed a construction compound within the site, to the east of the car parking area. This had a tarmac or hardcore surface and no permanent buildings, and had gone by 2009 when its location was grassed over. The site of the former compound is visible in the Lidar data, as is a small circular mound of uncertain origin to the south of the car park, not visible on aerial photographs.

    Essays on Real Estate Perspective Concerning the Socially Deprived

    Organizational and Economic Aspects of Housing Management in Deprived Areas Gunnar Blomé Stockholm 2011 Building and Real Estate Economics Department of Real Estate and Construction Management School of Architecture and the Built Environment Royal Institute of Technology (KTH) 1 © Gunnar Blomé 2011 Royal Institute of Technology (KTH) Building and Real Estate Economics Department of Real Estate and Construction Management School of Architecture and the Built Environment SE – 100 44 Stockholm Printed by E-print Stockholm ISBN nr: 978-91-85783-19-9 TRITA-FOB-PHD-2011:4 2 Abstract This dissertation consists of five papers with different objectives. The overall objective is to improve knowledge of effective policies regarding socially deprived large housing estates. All studies deal with the real estate context from a housing company decision-making perspective. The first two papers focus on organisational issues and the following three papers deal with economic issues related to the development of a specific housing area. The research is based on case studies which involve specific methodologies such as interviews, direct observation and collecting data from company accounts. The main message of this thesis is that landlord policies and resources spent on operation and maintenance contribute to local area development. It is also underlined that there is a need for a paradigm shift in Swedish housing, since the regulatory framework appeared to be inadequate. The experience from this study shows that many problems can be solved within the existing laws and through efficient customised property management, but landlords need more effective incentives to improve their policies further. The first two papers address issues about how to organise local management resources in large housing estates.

Despite this, many housing so- lutions for older and disabled people continue to be built on a designated basis, with physical and emotional wellbeing outcomes being both contested and mixed. After reviewing key policy relating to social care housing alongside some of the theoretical and ideological positions, this article explores the social and emotional outcomes of a diverse group of disabled people living with mental health difficulties, physical and intellectual impairments, illnesses and age-related conditions, who moved into a small, purpose-built estate of smart homes. Drawing primarily on qualitative data collected from ten- ants prior to moving and again seven months following relocation, the impact of moving into the estate on tenants’ sense of wellbeing and feelings of inclusion will be analysed and discussed in relation to efforts to build a new community.

Further, the small amount of housing which attempts to fill the middle ground does not satisfy the needs of occupants in general, and low income family urban dwellers in particular. Thus our attempts have been to investigate whether the characteristics of the highly favoured single family dwelling could be incorporated into housing forms in the middle range of densities.

    Doncaster Population: 109,805 (2011 Census)

    Doncaster Population: 109,805 (2011 Census) DEMOGRAPHY In 2011, Doncaster had a population of 109,805 which makes it very slightly larger than Rotherham. Doncaster compared 2011 Doncaster Metropolitan Borough of Doncaster White British 84.9% 91.8% Asian 5.3% 2.5% Black 1.3% 0.8% In 2011, 15.1% of Doncaster's population were non white British, compared with 8.2% for the surrounding Metropolitan Borough of Doncaster. This makes Doncaster more ethnically diverse than both Rotherham and Middlesbrough. Doncaster town has twice the percentage of Asian people compared with the borough, and a slightly larger percentage of black people. THE ROMAN FORT AT DONCASTER The history of Doncaster began when the Romans built a fort in the area about 71 AD. The Romans called the fort Danum. However in the 4th century Roman civilization declined and the last Roman soldiers left Britain in 407 AD. After the Romans left a village there was a village by the fort. It was called Don ceaster. In time the name changed to Doncaster. THE POINT The Point is made up of three houses (16, 16a and 17) all of which were built sometime in the mid 19th century. We bought 16/16a in 1996, renovated in 1997 and opened in 1998. This phase was funded by the Lottery and European funding. We expanded in 2006 to buy No 17(funded by a loan from the government which we're still paying off!) and spent 9 months refurbishing before opening in 2007. We've never been able to establish exact build dates but we do know that one of them was used a girls seminary for a while which is where the idea for the clock in the glazed link came from.

In doing so, they wish to place on record their appreciation and gratitude to all the members of the County Council's Department of Administration who have assisted and advised the Sub-Committee in their inquiry or who have been involved in the preparation of this report, in particular Anne Conaty (Assistant Solicitor), Len Cooksey (Committee Administrator), Elizabeth Griffiths (Secretary to the Deputy County Clerk) and David Hainsworth (Deputy County Clerk). (Councillor Dawson reserved his position on the report and the Sub-Committee agreed to consider a minority report from him). ----------------------- ~~- -1- • Frontispiece "There were many lessons to be learned from the steel strike and from the Police point of view the most valuable lesson was that to be derived from maintaining traditional Police methods of being firm but fair and resorting to minimum force by way of bodily contact and avoiding the use of weapons. My feelings on Police strategy in industrial disputes and also those of one of my predecessors, Sir Philip Knights, are encapsulated in our replies to questions asked of us when we appeared before the House of Commons Select Committee on Employment on Wednesday 27 February 1980. I said 'I would hope that despite all the problems that we have you will still allow us to have our discretion and you will not move towards the Army, CRS-type policing, or anything like that.
