I ave been given a copy of the Doncaster Courtier which is basically the minutes of council minutes from 1540 to 1620 ish.
I have been scouring it but not much info on Pubs. Found four so far, The Three Cranes, the Angel, the sign of the Bull and the sign of the White Hart no information about where they were in the Town.
On a side it was a bye law offence for a Butcher to Dress mutton as Lamb! Must have been a common occupancy!

That was quite a short meeting sproty, only 40 minutes.
-
I wonder how old the White Hart is? - it used to have the tallest bar in England (I think), but I believe they have put steps up to it since I last frequented it...

My great-grandparents lived on Three Cranes Yard. I think that it ran from Frenchgate to Factory Lane. I think that it was demolished in the 30s.
A part of it might have been behind the where the Beehive was as that was built in 1940.
Beehive coaches and some buses ran fron there in the 60s.

There was a cracking picture on Facebook today of the thatched house, just down from the corp taps in the 60s under shadow of the high-rise

I can remember in the 1950s when I was a kid, Donny was packed with pubs and cinemas.
Understandable really as, apart from football, they were the only real venues of entertainment, compared with today's massive leisure and service industry.

There’s a brilliant Facebook group run by Tom Beardsley https://www.facebook.com/groups/lookingbackatdoncaster/?ref=share
I’ve learnt so much more about the town I have lived in all my life

Thanks RD, fb is a brilliant concept but I won't use it until there is some control over the power it wields.

In 1901 there was a White Hart at 5 Frenchgate
That's the one I remember, opposite the old pllice station just up from the Bass pub with the alley way through the middle that went to the old bus station now what was that one called?
