Doncaster racing had a long and patchy history. It became regular early in the 18th century and important in the middle. In 1778 it moved to this new course on the Town Moor. The towering grandstand was started in 1776 by order of the Corporation; it cost £2,637 and the architect John Carr was paid 100 guineas. In 1809, as a private speculation, another stand was built, overlooking the paddock, by a Mr Maw: but it became instead Miss Murphy's School for Young Ladies, then Dr Inchbald's School for Boys, and in 1830 a county school for deaf and dumb children, who watched the racing from their balcony. The History of Horse Racing by Roger Longrigg, page 84.
