Sprotbrough services would have been a service area on the A1(M) Doncaster Bypass. It has a distinctly 1960s feel to it, being very small and with the motorway being in a cutting, well below where the services would have been.
Today the site is used as a works unit for storing materials and maintenance vehicles. There is an operational 'secret exit' connecting with Melton Road.
