The street is named, not after the Yorkshire town of that name, but after a steel entrepreneur called Daniel Doncaster. Doncasters was originally founded in 1778, when Daniel Doncaster established an operation in this industrial area of Sheffield to apply the crucible steel-making process to the manufacture of hand tools. Daniel Doncaster obtained his trade mark in 1778 making it one of the world’s oldest.
