You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 35.171.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪JJMC89‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 05:20, 2 December 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Woodlands''' is a [[model village]] 4 miles (6&nbsp;km) north-west of [[Doncaster]] in [[South Yorkshire]], England. The village lies adjacent to [[Highfields, South Yorkshire|Highfields]] and [[Adwick le Street]] within the [[City of Doncaster]]. The [[Pit village|colliery village]] was designed and built in the early 20th century by the architect [[Percy Houfton]] as tied cottages for the miners of the neighbouring [[Brodsworth Colliery]]. In an era of model villages such as [[Saltaire]], [[Port Sunlight]] and [[Bournville]], Woodlands, with extensive open spaces, many different designs of houses, and overall living conditions excellent for their time, possibly represents the height of the model village movement. The village is a conservation area.

==Topography==
Lying between the historic [[Great North Road (United Kingdom)|Great North Road]] (the former [[A1 road (Great Britain)|A1]], now the [[A638 road|A638]]) and a [[Roman Road]], the houses in the village are in short terraces, typically of four, and face each other across wide avenues. At the back they typically overlook a large square open space. The [[Roman Road]] is [[Ermine Street]], the branch from [[Lincoln, Lincolnshire|Lincoln]] to [[York]] via [[Doncaster]] and [[Tadcaster]]. Locally, it is colloquially known as the Roman Rigg, more correctly as the [[Roman Ridge]].

Between the village and [[Highfields, South Yorkshire|Highfields]], the former country house of Woodlands has been adapted as a social club. Nearby is the Woodlands wildlife park, with [[Highfields Lake]] (an ornamental lake on the [[Pick Burn]]) and [[Hanging Wood, South Yorkshire|Hanging Wood]] (or Highfields Wood). In Highfields Wood is a stream, known as Robin Hood's stream, which springs near the Roman Rigg, and runs into [[Pick Burn]]. The stream may be so named as [[Robin Hood]] is reputed to have roamed in [[Barnsdale|Barnsdale Forest]], of which Highfields Wood was part.

In "[[The Park (Woodlands)|The Park]]" a green of 24 acres is surrounded by about 120 of the workers' houses. The houses back on to woodland or to green open space and, instead of facing each other across a narrow street, look across perhaps 200 yards of parkland to the houses opposite. The nearby [[country house]] [[Brodsworth Hall]], built in the 1860s for Charles Augustus Thellusson, was acquired by [[English Heritage]] in the late 1980s and is operated as a house museum.

==Community facilities==
The largest community facility is one built in 1924 for the miners and the community which is the miners welfare which originally stood on 15 acres of land and now provides the sporting and recreational facilities in woodlands
The village has five public houses, The Woodlands (locally known as the swinger, now closed and rebuilt as assisted housing), Park Club, The Officials, Rhinos (formally Woodlands Working Mens Club known as the bomb) and The Highwayman (previously The Broad highway). There is one restaurant (Aagrah), three fish and chip shops, two Chinese takeaways, a snooker hall, cafe, post office, fire station, library, four hairdressers, a tanning shop, and one computer shop.

==Education==
Woodlands schools are Woodlands Infants School, and Woodlands Junior School, which are now known as Woodlands Primary School. There's also adwick infant and adwick primary school, and St Joseph & St Teresa's school which is an infant and primary catholic school. [[Outwood Academy Adwick]] is the only secondary school in the area.

==Religious sites==
[[File:All Saints' Church, Woodlands, South Yorkshire.jpg|thumb|right|alt=a red brick building with tiled roof and needle spire.|All Saints Church forms a focal point of the colliery village.<ref name="nhle1151514">((NHLE|num=1151514|desc=Church of All Saints|access-date=29 April 2020))</ref>]]
There are two churches, Woodlands All Saints' Church and St. Joseph & St. Theresa's Catholic Church (with community hall).

All Saints Church (1913) is a red brick [[parish church]] built for this mining community by the Thellusson family, owners of Brodsworth Hall.<ref>[http://www.acny.org.uk/venue.php?V=10380 All Saints Church]</ref> The church's distinctive [[spire]] is visible from central Doncaster, the [[A1(M)]], and the main [[East Coast Main Line|East Coast]] [[Railway line|railway-line]]. The church is unusual for having a small [[baptistry]] positioned behind the [[baptismal font|font]] at the back of the church, for baptising adults by [[Baptism#Manner of baptism|immersion]]. (In practice this baptistry requires candidates to squat or kneel down in it, and there is barely enough space for the priest to be in the tank with the candidate - though that has not prevented it being used for a number of adults and young people in recent years). All Saints was one of a few late [[Oxford Movement]] churches to be built with baptistries((Citation needed|date=July 2007)). All Saints is a Grade II [[listed building]].<ref name="nhle1151514"/>

==Sport==
[[Brodsworth Welfare A.F.C.]] play at the Welfare Ground in the village; Brodsworth Main Cricket Club and Brodsworth Bowing Club are also within the Welfare Grounds.
Bowling Fishing Darts Snooker and Pool all happen at Woodlands Park Sports & Social Club. 
There is also a gym in the club upstairs called Eco Fitness that does all different outdoor sports.

==Refurbishment==
The local council, DMBC, is using Green Corridor Money to give the Squares a facelift and to give the houses a back garden. 4 Squares had been completed by October 2009. The Brodsworth Informer, a Bi-Monthly, 16 page news journal, is delivered free to almost 4,000 homes in the area. 2003 saw the revival of the old May Festival, started in 1910 when mine owner Sir Arthur Markham was persuaded to give the miners a day off with pay for the Festival.

The village was featured on Thursday 30 August 2007 (at 6.30pm) on the BBC Look North's A-Z of the region.<ref>[https://www.bbc.co.uk/mediaselector/check/player/nol/newsid_6970000/newsid_6971300?redirect=6971383.stm&news=1&bbwm=1&nbram=1&bbram=1&nbwm=1 (Woodlands on Look North)]</ref>
