From the Back Cover
This fascinating collection of over two hundred photographs gives us a comprehensive portrayal of some of the most important old houses and halls in Doncaster and the surrounding area.
The history of each house is examined, any special features or incidents concerning the building including any ghostly visitors, the various owners and tenants and the fate of the house today. Amongst the most notable are, Sandbeck Hall, Hooton Pagnell Hall, Brodsworth Hall and Nether Hall. These prestigious houses and their extensive grounds would have been an important focal point in their heyday and their continued existence remains a high point of interest today.
This book is local author, Peter Tuffrey's twelfth book in the Archive Photograph Series, and provides another invaluable record of the Doncaster area. The subject of this is based upon his successful series that appeared in recent years.
