Carcroft

At the time of the 2011 Census the village fell within the ward of Adwick le Street & Carcroft in the Doncaster MBC.

The old centre of the village remains with High Street supporting a variety of small independent shops.

The furniture retailer DFS also began here as Northern Upholstery and a large outlet for the firm still stands on a small trading estate just off High Street opposite an Asda superstore.

DFS Head office, factory and distribution centre is based a mile away at Adwick le Street.
