| Description: Design in coloured paving. Commission: Part of Phase 1 of Doncaster Metropolitan Borough Council 'Quality Streets Project'. Commissioned through the Environmental Arts programme to commemorate the site of the Butter Cross. The paving design gives a plan view of the cross. It was designed between February and May of 1990 and installed between July and September of the same year. Design and implementation costs were £9,250. The project was part-financed by the European Community and by the Government's Challenge Fund through the Single Regeneration Budget. Comment: The old Butter Cross was erected in 1756 [1] and demolished in 1846, along with the Town Hall and other houses in this area. The Market Hall (1849) and Corn Exchange (1873) were subsequently erected in this space.
