Freight train on the Doncaster Avoiding Line
The line, 3 miles 22 chains long from Hexthorpe to Bentley, was built by the Great Central Railway in 1908-10 in preparation for the opening of Immingham Dock in 1912, and its purpose was to take slower freight trains to/from Humberside over the LNER's East Coast main line rather than go through Doncaster station. It still fulfils that purpose (though traffic is lighter since the demise of the coal industry), and has never been used for regular passenger services.

St.Edmund's church, Town End, Sprotbrough
This part of Sprotbrough is known as Town End, developed on farmland during the industrial growth of the 1920s, St.Edmund's church on Anchorage Lane was formed by converting an old barn. It stands close to the site of the medieval Ancres Chapel and the stone used for the barn may have been robbed from the chapel.
