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...
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 Buu and the sign of the White 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!
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

Must have been a common occupancy!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.
In 1901 there was a White Hart at 5 Frenchgate
