The distinctive Pillared Houses, so called because the lower two storeys are recessed, and the upper part of the frontage is supported on columns. This property was erected in around 1800 and comprises three houses, one of which was occupied by architect William Lindley who designed the building.

On their attendance at the Races in 1806 the Prince of Wales (later George IV) lodged at Mr Lindley’s house and the Duke of Clarence at Dr. Chorley’s (next door).

"On the appearance of the Prince at the window each day he was greeted with every demonstration of loyalty and respect, by an immense concourse of people."

In 1957 the Pillared Houses were purchased by Charles Farran, a civil engineer and for many years’ chairman of the Doncaster Civic Trust, for use as professional chambers.
