Highfields, South Yorkshire
- Highfields, South Yorkshire
Highfields is a former coal mining village, located south of the model village of Woodlands, in the English county of South Yorkshire. It is part of the Metropolitan Borough of Doncaster.
Although it does not currently have an air of prosperity, Highfields was built so that most houses either overlooked farmland or woodland (and an ornamental lake - Highfields Lake) or the greens in the centre of the village. Like its neighbour, Woodlands, Highfields lies between the historic Great North Road and the Roman Road.
The Roman Road is a branch of Ermine Street, branching off near Lincoln and rejoining near York. Although a separate branch, it is also known as Ermine Street. Locally, this stretch of the road is known as the Roman Ridge, although it is more colloquially known as the Roman Rigg.
