Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Use British English Шаблон:Infobox UK place Askern (Шаблон:IPAc-en) is a town and civil parish within the City of Doncaster, in South Yorkshire, England. It is on the A19 road between Doncaster and Selby. Historically part of the West Riding of Yorkshire, it had a population of 5,570 at the 2011 Census.[1] Askern was also known in for its Greyhound Stadium, which closed in 2022.

History

The town's name derives from the Old English askr-ærn meaning 'building made of ash' or 'building surrounded by ash trees'.[2] Historically in the parish of Campsall, the town lies Шаблон:Convert south of Pontefract, and Шаблон:Convert north of Doncaster.Шаблон:Sfn Up until the middle of the 19th century, the town was in the wapentake of Osgoldcross in the West Riding of Yorkshire.[3]

The history of Askern can be traced back to the reign of Edward III. The people of Norton complained to the Sheriff of Osgoldcross that the people of Askern had failed to keep part of Askern Pool in a clean state. As a result, the King's highway had been "overflowed and drowned so that neither horse nor foot passengers could use it".Шаблон:Sfn

The parish church of St Peter's dates back to 1852.[4]

Coal mining

Then in the early years of the 20th century the quest for coal identified a good seam of coal near Askern. It was decided to access the coal from a mine built above the village, in 1911. As the mine opened the new houses were built for the workers and their families in the village.[5] The pit was closed in 1991 due to a low in the price of coal, and the surface buildings were demolished in 1993.[6][7]

Railway

Askern is on the former Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway line between Doncaster and Wakefield Kirkgate, though Askern railway station closed in 1947.[8][9] The line is used mainly by goods services, as well as the four-times daily Grand Central passenger services from Bradford Interchange to London King's Cross.[10] There have been proposals to re-open Askern railway station to passenger trains.[11]

Bus services

Askern is served by bus service 51 to Doncaster, Carcroft, Skellow and Norton.[12] There are also two school bus services from the town.
