Did You Know?Doncaster is a very large town in the north of England. It is in a Metropolitan County (an area of dense population) called South Yorkshire. The Romans built well-engineered surfaced roads to speed up movement of soldiers, civilian administrators, goods and messages. Roads led from Danum to Lincoln and to Castleford and York. The stone used to make the roads would have come from nearby quarries. The Market can be traced back to Roman times. But it was Henry VII that granted Doncaster the right to hold a market every Tuesday and Thursday in 1505. The St Leger is the oldest classic horse race in the world. The idea to race horses over a 2-mile distance was first conceived in the Red Lion Pub by arm officer Anthony St Leger in 1776. Today people from all over the world come to Doncaster Racecourse.
