Throughout the 20th Century, Doncaster was home to many amateur and professional filmmakers. In the early 1990's two videos 'Bygone Doncaster' and 'Bygone Doncaster Revisited' were released featuring many of these archive films.
The videos have now been digitally remastered and compiled onto a single DVD with an interactive menu to allow users to access the many different clips. The DVD includes over 100 mins of film showing the Doncaster our grandparents knew...

I was born there - I could never feel proud of all the old building that have been knocked down. It's all happening again now - nothing has been learned from past mistakes.

@stevedn1 15 лет назад

Poor Duke Street, Cleveland Street, and Station Road. Some impressive facades were lost, including the Guildhall. It's more of the same now, it's a tragedy that the Gaumont fell into the grasp of property vultures.

Doncaster was a really nice town. My mother used to talk about how fashionable the restaurant in the Gaumont was.

I wish I could have seen Doncaster in person through those years. It saddens me how much it has been ruined by the council allowing so much of the beautiful history be destroyed and the disrespect some people have for their town, vandalising and littering everywhere. What should be beautiful buildings now destroyed by the council allowing an overload of shops, many of which now fail in the first few months, to do whatever the hell they want to it with no respect for maintaining the architecture.

We still have the market! a good one at that! they will never take that from us!

@aribahombre2942 6 лет назад

Da Stig : - It's as good as gone now , my friend . Nothing's sacred in Donny' .

@christiinegaylor7296 3 года назад

@@aribahombre2942 the market was great in the 1980's.

@stevedn1 14 лет назад

The REAL people of Donny are lovely. The council and local politicians are dreadful. Why go to "Clone Town" when there are better places in Yorkshire? Doncaster will be a faceless place with no identity.

@NorseCode.81 3 года назад

So basically before the 1960s Doncaster was a picture perfect Town. Now it's just a mess 👍🏼

@BigBaggaBlues 14 лет назад

@cheekyleopard fair enough, i dont really go that much i prefer less frequent nights out but bigger ones in places like leeds an sheffield, every man to his own tho i spose

@MrDoncaster10 14 лет назад

doncaster's almost unrecognisable in this video, wish they didnt pull down all those really historic buildings such as the guildhall, and go and replace them with them hideous grey concrete buildings we see today, obscuring the skyline of doncaster.

@BigBaggaBlues 14 лет назад

@cheekyleopard best night out in england??? are you joking?? id like to hear why if you dont mind
