  • Rotherham is a town in South Yorkshire, England. It is the largest settlement in the Metropolitan Borough of Rotherham. Rotherham is named after the River Rother, one of two major rivers (the other being the River Don) to flow through the town.
    Before the Industrial Revolution, traditional industries included farming, glass making and flour milling. In the late 18th and 19th centuries, Rotherham became known for its coal mining and, later, steel industries.
    The town's historic county is Yorkshire, and Rotherham once formed part of the West Riding of Yorkshire administrative county. In 1974, this administrative county was abolished during a reorganisation of local government. Subsequently, Rotherham became part of the county of South Yorkshire, where it makes up one of four metropolitan boroughs.
    I went along to see what the Town centre is like today..

    Nice tour of Rotherham. Well done on the sneaky park. Lovely blossoms. Lots of shutters but maybe that is because it’s a Sunday, some very interesting architecture. A very worthy place to visit. Love the art gallery. ❤

      Thanks...it really seemed like spring was here....but today i had to scrape ice off the car windows and this afternoon it has been raining heavy for 5 hours...just as things were beginning to dry out...lets hope for some mud free paths this weekend.

    Thanks for a walk around Rotherham Steve, it's been a long time since we've been to the centre.
    Park looked great and so nice to hear that families are out using it.
    Loved all the blossom on the trees
    Glad you managed to find the time for a pint.
    Hope you're having a good week

    Look at those marvelous signs of spring!! Blooms and leaves on the great go! Seems like you hit a quiet part of town or an equally quiet time of day. Pretty nice for sure! Maybe everyone was at the fair...awesome!!

    It is great Steven to see the towns up in your neck of the woods, especially with the lovely spring blossom and fresh leaves on the trees. Sometimes its nice going somewhere without having researched it and seeing what you can find. There looks to be some beautiful parts of the town, but also a dodgy part or two, but doesn't every town!
