More about this scene
This is the junction of St Sepulchre Gate and the High Street. It was down Baxtergate that Freeman, Hardy and Willis had their branch. Coal mining was a major employer: Doncaster was ringed with pit villages. The first sod was cut at Brodsworth Colliery in 1905 and at Hatfield Main in 1911. At Hatfield it took five years to reach the Barnsley bed at 852 yards below the surface.
