Doncaster Gate Hospital was a hospital located in Rotherham in South Yorkshire, England.
The hospital has its origins in the Rotherham Public Dispensary established at Wellgate in Rotherham in 1806. [1] It moved to College Square in Rotherham in 1828. [1]
Following an initiative by Dr Edward Shearman, [2] funding was sought for a new hospital in the town. Subscriptions were donated by every section of the community from ladies living on Moorgate to the workers in the surrounding factories. [3] It was decided to situate the new building in Doncaster Gate, so-named because it marked the gateway to Rotherham on the Doncaster Road. [4]
The architects, Mallison & Bakewell of Dewsbury and Leeds, were selected from over 90 entries in a competition run by The Builder magazine in 1869. [5] The hospital, which was built partly in Tudor style and partly in Gothic style at a cost of £9,000, opened in 1872. [1]
It joined the National Health Service as Doncaster Gate Hospital in 1948. [1] After services, including the special care baby unit, [6] had been transferred to Rotherham General Hospital, Doncaster Gate Hospital closed in 1984. [1]

The River Don Navigation was the result of early efforts to make the River Don in South Yorkshire, England, navigable between Fishlake and Sheffield. The Dutch engineer Cornelius Vermuyden had re-routed the mouth of the river in 1626, to improve drainage, and the new works included provision for navigation, but the scheme did not solve the problem of flooding, and the Dutch River was cut in 1635 to link the new channel to Goole. The first Act of Parliament to improve navigation on the river was obtained in 1726, by a group of Cutlers based in Sheffield; the Corporation of Doncaster obtained an Act in the following year for improvements to the lower river. Locks and lock cuts were built, and, by 1751, the river was navigable to Tinsley.
