Doncaster's impressive station approach road was knocked down to make way for this, as were impressive buildings on Frenchgate and St Sepulchre Gate. The Grand Theatre is the only surviving building of Station Road.
You can find these clone shops anywhere so why would you go out of your way to go to Doncaster? In its original form, this was called the Arnedale Centre. Some of Doncaster's most impressive facades and fine buildings were knocked down to make way for it. It shifts the centre of gravity away from what remains of Doncaster's historic centre.
Look to the margins of this metropolitan borough and you will see the truth - Rossington, Edlington, Stainforth, Moorends, Thorne. All of them run down places. DN7 is the most likely postcode where householders will be burgled in the whole UK. I feel ashamed to say I was born there and would never go back.
A once proud industrial town and seen by property developers as a place that "needs" a casino and more fast food outlets when some have closed even in the Frenchgate Centre.
This video presents a very sanitised view of Doncaster as DMBC would want you to see it. The reality is very different. A town that has lost so much of its identity and cultural heritage, some of the planning decisions there have been to the shame of DMBC. The recent decision to destroy the historic Gaumont Palace is so typical of DMBC.
well iv lived in the north east most of my life n moved 2donny about 5yr ago.. bk in the north east nw i lived in balby n ppl werre sayn its bad n dat bt my street wasnt.. if u fink donny a shit hole get yasel up round ere den yal c wat sum real shit holes r haha
Modern buildings and architecture have their place but there must be a place for heritage in Doncaster. Too much of the old town has been lost. Conservation areas need special protection. I also think that the old Gaumont/Odeon cinema should be saved.
They're making the place look good but it's still full of chavs related violence, smackheads, burgulars, women riddled with diseases and alcoholics. Doncaster is the biggest shitstain in South Yorks...
who gives a shit that donnys got these things.every town in britain has got them too.what set donny apart from others was its strong working class ethos and thats why it was a great place to grow up.obviously since the strike the council done there best to wipe any history of that ethos of the map and thats one of many reasons were in the state were in.middle class bastards.one more thing kids...remember scabs are scum!
Who are all these morons writing down where they live in Doncaster, such as "Woodlands!" and "Intake" Whoop whoop - I work in Doncaster centre every day and the town is a dump, always has been and always will be. And I know what a dump looks like because I am from Sheffield (which is still infinitely better than Donny!)
Yeah, Steve, I don't rate so highly of Doncaster... I remember watching this back in the media course and you did a good job with it, but no matter how much metal you put over it, the place is still a shithole
Donny is a shithole and anyone who says otherwise is in denial, I don't give a shit about man made structures made to try and polish a turd also its comment like this
"Dont Diss Doncaster Cos ya dont no whats coming !
Donny Boys Are Hard so id watch it"
That make donny the shithole it is cos donny is full of ignorant muppets such as this...
By the way I do live here ok ok I will move out soon probably to somewhere much nicer like scunthorpe haha
hell yes! i live in doncaster..and they making it look good .. where evrybody lives thought its crap.. full of chavs on nicked scooters and car fires daily! some person nere me died a few month ago becuase he forgot to cook teqa for his wife! its full of mados and vilonce! and im part of it =]
Everyone's a critic, it is a shame that the natural beauty around Doncaster is not utilised.The whole of the Rhine valley can be compared to the Don valley(same industry coal & steel etc) the cities of Cologne & Dusselldorf have really turned them selves around in a very short period- having suffered mine closures etc.they have a lot of civic pride & were not abandoned by their government.
I like the Frenchgate Centre, but there's much more to Donny than just that.
"The biggest screen in Yorkshire"
I was deeply saddened to read that the Doncaster Odeon closed just recently. More than just a fantastic cinema, but also there were concerts there by the Beatles, Rolling Stones, Sam Cooke, Buddy Holly. The Bolshoi Ballet was a sell-out when it played there in the 90s. A legendary building so please can we preserve more of the "old" Doncaster as well?
People slaggin donny are fuckin idots wat the hell is wrong wiv donny iv lived here all my life and never had a pice of trouble, and what is scum people about donny eh dompire? ur an idot thats all there is to say!
Great video guys. Used to live up in Hatfield (m180/m18 junction) and headed into Doncaster town a lot. Shame you missed out the meat and fish market as this is such a vibrant part of the town.
Donny is a shit place to live the shops are crap the football team are okay well I would rather live in london than doncaster cause london is a better place.

I'm out of Doncaster right now but this does make it look strangely good.I'll be returning for a while at Christmas and I hope it's improved.
Maybe by the time Thatcher dies it'll be a decent place to live,seen as though she's responsible for all the problems it has now.
