Doncaster Common.

The Town Fields have been referred to by this name since at least the 1920's. Whatever confusion exists was probably caused when some counties were deleted, others renamed or reshaped, and YORKSHIRE was divided into areas which had no historical relevance whatever, and the RIDINGS were made obsolete. Hence the Town Fields were in the West Riding (now part of South Yorkshire).
Incidentally, the land was mostly used for producing wheat and other cereals during WW2.
