Doncaster Rural District Council coat of arms.

The black and green background represents the district's two main industries - coal mining in the west and agriculture in the east. The white and blue waves symbolise the River Don and the castle gateway is derived from the arms of the County Borough of Doncaster, together they express the name. The white roses of course refer to the district's location in Yorkshire.

Although some more modern coats of arms that have been granted within the last 30-40years have the single pectal point upwards akin to the Red Rose of Lancashire
