Rossington
Rossington is a civil parish and former mining village in the Metropolitan Borough of Doncaster in South Yorkshire, England and is surrounded by countryside and the market towns of Bawtry and Tickhill.Construction was due to start in late summer 2012 though initial site clearance work only commenced in early 2013.[3][4][needs update] To the north-west, the village borders Loversall, with the boundary following the River Torne, passing directly next to the western edge of the former Rossington Main Colliery.The boundary passes along the west of Hurst Plantation, and meets the A638, a former Roman road, at Warren House Farm.Rossington Bridge, although now only consisting of a few buildings is the oldest of the six settlements; situated on the crossing of the Roman road from Lincoln (Lindvm) to York (Ebvrscvm) via Doncaster (Danum) it was once the site of a major Roman fort (the largest between Lincoln and York).In 2012 a coal reclamation project started on the Rossington Colliery spoil tip, this was expected to take up to 5 years to complete.[citation needed] In September 2012 planning permission was given by the borough council to build a £100 million, 1,200 home, housing development including a primary school and hotel on the colliery site.Rossington railway station was closed for regular services in 1958 but a few special trains stopped there until the late 1960s.The only surviving building is the old station cottages, which stand on the north west side of the crossing and are now private dwellings.
