Baxter Gate

Baxter Gate is a pedestrianised street in the city centre of Doncaster, in South Yorkshire, England.

The street lay outside the Roman fort of Danum, and along the defences of the Saxon burh.

It emerged in the Roman era, connecting the fort to the alternative route of Ermine Street.

In 1350, it was recorded as "vicus pistorum", the street of bakers, which later evolved into "Baxter Gate".

[3] Doncaster Metropolitan Borough Council describes the street as one of the two main shopping streets in the town, "to a lesser degree [than St Sepulchre Gate], although it is still populated by some well-known national retailers", and that it has "a lively mix of building styles and retailers".
