Can you see yourself in these photos of Doncaster town centre in the 1990s and 2000s?

The town centre is opening back up for business after months of Doncasters retail shops being closed for the coronavirus – check out these retro photos of people in the town shopping.

New social distancing measures will be in place in Doncaster Town Centre from Monday, June 15.

Many retail shops will be opening back up again for the first time in months so we are bringing you photos of the town centre from years past to show just how much it has changed.
