About Intake
Where to stay in Intake
Not every neighbourhood fits every trip — here's what each one is good for.
Council housing fills most of it. Intake is a suburb of houses rather than hotels, so the booking happens in Doncaster, and what the suburb offers a visitor already inside it is Sandall Beat Woods and the open ground of Town Fields. Christ Church marks the built side.
Intake suits you if the reason for the trip stands on Town Moor Avenue or at Intake Ground rather than in the city centre.
About Intake
What are the main landmarks in Intake?
A ground, a church and a house. Intake Ground, Christ Church and Elmfield House are the three names the record fixes to the suburb, and Sandall Beat Woods add the one piece of open country that carries a name of its own. Town Fields lies along the edge, its public land based on Town Moor Avenue.
Beyond those names the suburb goes unrecorded.
What is the history of Intake?
Two building eras, plainly dated. The Town Fields area comprises private housing put up to the 1930s, while Intake itself is largely a council estate built on the edge of Doncaster through the 1950s and 1960s. Nothing older is dated in print.
Town Moor sits inside the Intake electoral ward, and Doncaster Council keeps Town Fields as an administrative area of its own, which is how one patch of ground carries two names.
Where is Intake?
Intake takes in Town Moor and Sandall Beat Woods, and its edge runs against Town Fields, the public land based on Town Moor Avenue in South Yorkshire.
