The monument is Wheatley Hall Park, an ornamental landscape park associated with Wheatley Hall, which was built in 1683 and demolished in 1938. The park covered 103 acres by 1854, and included pleasure grounds to the north of the hall and the main landscape park to the south and southeast. The sites of the hall, the hall farm and the pleasure grounds (‘The Grove’) all lie within the site. The findspot was of a Roman coin, though its location is poorly provenanced and it may not have come from within the buffer. No Scheduled Monuments or listed buildings are recorded within the site or buffer. The Magnesian Limestone in South and West Yorkshire Aerial Photographic Mapping Project recorded a small area of ridge and furrow remains at the southeast edge of the site and further earthwork ridge and furrow to the east within the buffer. These were recorded from a photograph dating to 1950, and the areas have since been developed. Historic Environment Characterisation records the present character of the eastern part of the site as an area of mixed industrial use, including the main plant of a tractor works (now demolished), as well as smaller works and yards. Most of this area was developed in the mid-20th century and there is no legibility of the former character of regular fields enclosed by Parliamentary Award in 1771. The western side of the site is also industrial works, including more of the tractor works, on the site of the former Wheatley Park, briefly used as golf course in the early 20th century. Within the centre of this area is a further polygon, of the same present character but marking the site of the former Wheatley Hall, built in 1683, probably on the site of an earlier manor house. Wheatley Farm, to the east of the hall, was also within this polygon, and was shown on the 1854 map. One farm building survived at the time of the HEC project, but may have since been demolished. Other character zones within the buffer include drained wetland at Bentley Ings to the north of the Don, a retail park and social housing estates to the southeast, a sewage works to the east, and a sports ground to the southwest. The majority of the site is currently vacant land cleared of works buildings, with an area of rough grass and scrub to the northeast and some surviving works buildings or warehouses in the southwest part of the site. The northern boundary is formed by the River Don, and the southern boundary by Wheatley Hall Road. Cartographic/historic land use assessment: The 1854 map shows the western part of the site containing Wheatley Hall at its western end, with Wheatley Farm to the east. The hall was surrounded by pleasure grounds called 'The Grove'. The eastern part of the site was several fields, with Don Bank Plantation in the northeast tip. The old course of the River Don ran through the northern side of the site, on a more meandering course than the Don New Cut to the north. An area labelled 'Wheatley Ford' to the northeast of the farm, may be an old river crossing place. The 1892 map showed a boat house at the point where the old and new courses of the river intersected, north of the farm. By 1907, some of the field boundaries within the eastern side of the site had been removed to create larger units. The 1930 map showed the boat house site as a sheepwash. The hall was still standing at that date, but had been demolished by 1939, when construction of Wheatley Hall Road had begun along the southern boundary of the site. The Grove and Wheatley Farm were still shown within the western part of the site, and the eastern part was still fields. By 1956, the eastern part of the site was occupied by three large works buildings, labelled Automobile Factory, whilst the western side contained numerous smaller buildings at the northern side and probable works buildings to the south, including five parallel narrow, linear buildings. A works railway ran along the southern edge of the site. The 1968 map showed the numerous small structures in the western side as set amongst trees within a grid- pattern track layout to the north, up to the edge of the Old River Don course. The layout suggests these may have been part of a barracks or similar military site established during the Second World War, but they are never labelled. The 1982-93 map showed the main factory buildings in the eastern half of the site, with a spoil heap or www.archeritage.co.uk Page 2 of 4 Doncaster Local Plan: Archaeological Scoping Assessment refuse dump to the northeast of the buildings. The smaller factory buildings to the south of the western part of the site were still shown, though the smaller buildings to the north had been demolished and new works buildings shown in their location. Loops of the old course of the River Don were still visible as watercourses, possibly ponds, at the northeast and northwest sides of the site. Within the buffer, the 1854 map showed Wheatley Park to the southwest of the site, and regular fields to the south and east. The River Don New Cut and a parallel channel called The Flood Drain ran to the immediate north of the site, with the Great Northern and Manchester, Sheffield and Lincolnshire railway running roughly parallel to the north. In 1894 and 1906, an area of fields at the east of the buffer was labelled 'Sewage Farm', with no structures shown within it. The 1956 map showed the remnant of the Grove to the west of the site, and a sports ground east of it. Electrical Engineering and Clothing factories were shown to the south of Wheatley Hall Road and a large sewage works at the eastern edge of the buffer. By 1968, the Grove was no longer shown and the area was labelled 'Sports Field'. Allotment gardens were shown to the immediate east of the site at that date. Further development took place to the south of Wheatley Hall Road, including works and housing, by 1982. Survival: Some of the surviving works buildings on the site (in 2015) appear to date from the 1950s, and may be of some historic interest. The HEC record for the site states that one of the buildings of Wheatley Hall Farm survived within this area, but it has not been possible to establish this from the map and aerial evidence. The construction of the factories is likely to have had a substantial impact on buried remains, though the depth of disturbance across the site is unknown. There is the potential for the survival of buried remains associated with Wheatley Hall and Wheatley Farm within the western part of the site. The potential for earlier remains is unknown; the site contains the old course of the River Don, and is in an area that was liable to flooding in the historic period, and may not have been a suitable area for habitation. The location suggests that there is the potential for deep alluvial sequences, which could contain palaeoenvironmental and organic remains, as well as the potential for the preservation of palaeochannels, and remains of human activity associated with the exploitation of the riverine environment. A ford was recorded within the site on the 1854 map, and this may have been a long-established crossing point. Further investigations: Further archaeological investigations are likely to be required if the site is allocated for development. This should include an assessment of the historic significance of any standing buildings remaining on the site. Significance: Unknown. Aerial Photographs & Lidar Summary: The 2002 aerial photograph shows the site occupied by works buildings in a similar layout to the 1992 map, the buildings at the southwest side being the five parallel linear buildings first shown in 1956. The northeast tip of the site was shown as rough grass, with part of the area used for storage of materials. Loops of the old course of the River Don are shown at the northeast and northwest sides of the site. By 2009 some of the works buildings at the northern and eastern sides of the site had been demolished, and the 2015 image showed all of the central and eastern half cleared, with some of the 1950s buildings towards the southwest side still standing. Lidar data shows the course of the old River Don at the northeast and northwest corners of the site. The land at the northeast corner is shown as uneven and slightly raised, and may have been landscaped after the refuse dump was removed.

The first three volume indexes were produced on typewriters, though subsequent issues were produced by computers, and happily digital files had been preserved for these apart from one section of one index. It has therefore been necessary to create digital versions of 3 original indexes using “Optical Character Recognition” (OCR), which has not proved easy due to the relatively poor print, and extremely small text (font) size, of some of the indexes in particular. Thus the OCR results have required extensive proof-reading. Very fortunately, a team of volunteers to assist in the project was recruited from the membership of the Society, and grateful thanks are undoubtedly due to the major players in this exercise – Paul Burkhalter, John Hill, John Hutchings, Frank Jux, John Maddox and Robin Simmonds – with a special thankyou to Russell Wear, current Editor of "IL" and Chairman of the Society, who has both helped and given encouragement to the project in a myraid of different ways. None of this would have been possible but for the efforts of those who compiled the original individual indexes – Frank Jux, Ian Lloyd, (the late) James Lowe, John Scotford, and John Wood – and to the volume index print preparers such as Roger Hateley, who set a new level of presentation which is standing the test of time.

  • Armthorpe Welfare FC Sponsorship Brochure
    Marra Falcons Stadium, Church Street, Armthorpe, Doncaster, DN3 3AG Members of the Toolstation NCEL st 1 Division, West Riding CFA & The Football Association #Upthewellie Formed in 1976, Armthorpe Welfare FC currently play our football in the Toolstation Northern Counties East Football League First Division and have been run by hard working volunteers for over 40 years. We are a family friendly club at the heart of our community and we rely upon the support of this community and local businesses to maintain our proud tradition of grass roots football. There are however huge financial costs involved in running a team at this level from league fees, referee’s fees and utility bills, to kit and equipment costs and essential ground and pitch maintenance. All of these costs are funded solely through many local businesses who sponsor our club in various ways. Without the support of these businesses, we would not be in existence, and we are very appreciative of those who help us. The league we compete in involves teams as far reaching as Bradford, Harrogate, Hull, Skegness and Nottingham, and more locally in Doncaster, Leeds, Sheffield, Barnsley, Scunthorpe and Wakefield, providing widespread exposure of your company to thousands of supporters. We also compete in the national Football Association competitions - the famous FA Cup and the FA Vase. In addition we compete in a County FA Cup contested by teams in the West Riding of Yorkshire, culminating in a final that is played at a football league ground. We have a number of sponsorship opportunities available to suit businesses and individuals alike, so why not show your support for the club whilst gaining some extra exposure for your business, or just for yourself? Pitchside Advertising Boards We have a great opportunity to advertise with the club via our pitch-side advertising boards.

  • New-Build Housing, Mobility and the Life Course a Study of Housing-Driven Economic Growth Strategy in Doncaster
    New-build housing, mobility and the life course A study of housing-driven economic growth strategy in Doncaster By: Amy Clare Beckett A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy The University of Sheffield Faculty of Social Sciences Department of Urban Studies and Planning 2018 Supervised by Dr Nicola Dempsey and Professor Ed Ferrari Abstract By implementing housing strategies which focus improving provision for more affluent groups, policymakers may hope to alter the demographic mix of a locality with the aim of stimulating economic growth to compete more effectively in a globalised world. This thesis examines the potential role of high-end new-build housing as part of a ‘bootstraps’ (Eisenschitz and Gough, 1993) local economic growth strategy in the context of ‘austerity urbanism’ (Peck, 2012). To explore these issues, the thesis employs a mixed-method, biographical approach to examine inward and internal migration into new-build homes in Doncaster, a post-industrial metropolitan borough in South Yorkshire. In doing so, the research provides a story of Doncaster, its neighbourhoods and its residents, exploring the ways in which individual, shared and collective narratives combine to influence household needs and preferences, and ultimately mobility outcomes. The empirical findings of this research suggest that targeted high-end new-build housing is insufficient as a policy mechanism to attract the substantial inward migration of middle-to-high income groups in Doncaster. Here, the potential economic benefit associated with a housing-based urban competition strategy appears not to have been met in empirical outcomes. In addition, whilst new-build housing provided a welcome addition to local market for more affluent existing residents and newcomers, findings suggest a policy focus on more affluent groups has the potential to exacerbate local spatial inequalities and threaten social cohesion by creating new opportunities for the segregation of more affluent groups.
