About

Bentley and Toll Bar lie on the eastern edge of Doncaster, where a mix of mid-20th-century housing and newer developments sits close to stretches of open land. The area serves local needs with primary schools, shops, pubs and sports pitches, and many residents travel into Doncaster for work or rail connections. Local routes link the neighbourhood to the town centre and to roads heading east; bus services run along the main road through Toll Bar. Community halls and volunteer groups run regular activities that focus on family and neighbourhood services.

The area’s recent history is shaped by coal: Bentley Colliery operated nearby until it closed in 1993, and traces of the mining landscape influenced later redevelopment and local memory. Toll Bar preserves a historical reference in its name, recalling the old turnpike gate that once controlled traffic on the road out of Doncaster. Small green corridors and former industrial sites have been repurposed for recreation and housing, so the neighbourhood now combines residential streets with remnants of its industrial past.
