Adwick le Street

Adwick le Street is a village in the City of Doncaster, South Yorkshire, England.

It follows to the west of the A638, and passes along the western perimeter of Woodlands, dividing the estate from the Red House industrial park.

In December 2007, archaeologists from ARCUS were called in after site workers preparing for the construction of the brand new North Ridge Community School unearthed human remains.

The new School, for special needs children, was to be built adjacent to North Doncaster Technology College (now Outwood Academy Adwick).

A small number of grave goods were found but in the future, any artefacts will be archived in Doncaster Museum.

The earliest references to the settlement are found in Domesday Book (1086), There are two churches - the main one is dedicated to St Laurence in the old village to the north, and the other is in Woodlands and is All Saints.

The parish boundary with Brodsworth is mostly the Roman Ridge, except for a small section adjacent to Pickburn, where it extends out to the A1(M) near the country park, and follows Long Lands Lane from the motorway bypass.

The division between Woodlands and Adwick parish follows just east of the A638, to the west of the secondary school, meeting the A638 at the Red House junction.

It follows the A1(M) all the way to the Red House junction (38), including the Red House industrial park, whereas the present-day parish boundary (with Brodsworth) follows the Roman Ridge, north of Long Lands Lane past Markham Grange garden centre.

On the southern side of Windmill Balk Lane is Park Primary School opposite the Outwood Academy Entrance and tennis courts.
