SOUTH PARADE

Continue up Hall Cross Hill. noticing the York stone paving which completes the 18th century setting of SOUTH PARADE.

The only non-Georgian building is the line Victorian Gothic House at No 6A. it is an example of Victorian Gothic but is still strictly symmetrical. It was built in 1869 by CE Palmer, a solicitor, on a site that had probably been occupied by an old barn. The material is Conisbrough pressed brick with drawn joints having Ancaster stone dressings. This stone came into use in Doncaster after the opening of the railway reduced the cost of its transport. The fine carving is by Thomas Scrivens the carver on the rebuilding of St. George’s.

The three identical bow-windowed houses further on are particularly attractive. Look for fanlights, door knockers, foot scrapers and the cast-iron street nameplate on No 4.
