History
The Grand Theatre, Doncaster was built by local builders, Arnold & Sons, to the designs of the architect J. P. Briggs and Chapman and opened on Monday the 27th of March 1899 with a production of "La Poupee," which was a transfer from the Prince of Wales Theatre in London.
As with many Theatres of the time the Grand only survives because of having been converted for Bingo in the late 1960's and the tireless efforts of local campaigners to save the Theatre from eventual demolition. The Grand was granted a Grade II Listing in 1994 but has been under the developer's radar ever since.

History
The citadel is a Grade II listed building which has been empty since around 2002 when The Salvation Army moved to their Psalter Lane site.
The citadel is owned by a Durham based property developer and was earmarked to become a bar but planning permission was refused. Since then permission has been granted for retail units but no work has commenced.
The citadel become the location of protests in 2012 when 'Occupy Sheffield' took possession and renamed it 'The Citadel of Hope'.
