Gresley Square with the wonderful Cast theatre with a piazza area with fountains just outside its entrance, the new Danum Gallery Museum and Library and now the new Savoy Cinema.
Doncaster is the biggest metropolitan borough in the country 568 km2 (219 sq. miles old money) and a population heading towards 320,000 in the metro area.
City status is well overdue.
