On the corner of High Street and Scot Lane, you can see the Yorkshire Bank built in 1843, and directly opposite the bank is 17 High Street which was built in the early 19th Century. From here, head down the High Street towards Hall Gate. Crossing over the street at the crossing which is next to the Danum Hotel. On the way, there are several listed buildings, including 18, 19 and 20 High Street, all built in the early 1900s.

On the right hand side, No 41 High Street was built in the late 18th century, On both sides, the left side is 22 High Street dated 1841 and on the right, the magnificent Blue Building dated 1780.

A number of listed buildings can also be seen on the left, No's 24 and 24B, and 25 all late 18th and early 19th century.

The Hall Gate crossing forms part of the Junction of 4 streets, Cleveland Street, Silver Street, High Street, and Hall Gate.

Silver Street and Cleveland Street were originally part of a defensive ditch that surrounded central Doncaster referred to as the Bar Dyke.

On the left side of the ditch was an earthen embankment, said to be 7ft high, with the ditch being 7ft deep. At this point, there was a bridge with a large gate that allowed entry into the town.

Walk up Hall Gate, and you will come to the next building on the tour, which is now Cactus Jack Restaurant.
