is this the place, near Doncaster , Yorkshire?

Woodlaithes Village

, 1890.

Originally part of the Manor of Conisbrough
In 1727, George Platt, a mason from Lyme, Cheshire, married Elizabeth Rickard of Doncaster. They lived at Red House, Woodlaithes where there son John Platt (1728-1810), the famous architect and mason, was born.
In the 1870s Woodlaithes consisted of a farm.
Doncaster Archives hold the 1858 Tithe apportionments and maps for Conisbrough, Firsby, Woodlaithes and Flanderwell.
In the early 1900's when houses were built to accomodate miners from Silverwood pit, the area was called Sunnyside.
Woodlaithes Village is a recent housing development

I'm not really Ron, but a brief check shows similar to above----

 Red House appears to be a two-family dwelling in the civil parish of Conisbrough which is in the sub-registration district of Tickhill and the registration district of Doncaster; at least in the mid-1800's. Smile
