About

Norton & Askern ward is situated in the north of the Doncaster metropolitan borough. The area encompasses the former mining towns of Norton and Askern, along with surrounding villages like Sutton and Campsall. The landscape is largely flat, with agricultural land and several small waterways defining the rural edges. Residential streets are primarily composed of interwar and post-war housing, reflecting the area's development during the industrial period.

The ward's social and economic history is closely tied to coal mining, with the legacy of Askern Colliery shaping the community. Norton has a more residential character with local shops and services centred along Norton Road. A notable local feature is Askern Lake, a former pit bath transformed into a public amenity with walking paths. The overall atmosphere is quiet and residential, with connections to the wider region provided by the A19 and A1(M) road networks.
