I was born and raised in Rotherham until I was 16. Many happy childhood memories I'm now 67. Clifton Park was my favourite place to visit . The Cenotaph has my ancestor name on it George Stanley Gibbs. Thank you Daz for this collection of Rotherham as I remember it. God bless you.

@@BOXING.ONLY.CLUB.ONLY2BOX.B4 Hi Daz , this is Linda Gibbs. Thank you for your kind reply. My grandad, Leslie Gibbs was George Stanley Gibbs brother. I have a good photo of you stood by George's grave at Lijssenthoek Military cemetery. I think you and I are related. I really enjoy the videos of Rotherham. I used to live at Kimberworth Park in the 50 and 60s . Thank you and God bless you Daz.
Not a patch on its old self anymore awful in town centre and welllgate is now full of Eastern European shops the town is gone and so have I moved away last year after 50 years there !
Desertification of the town centre. And it's not only Rotherham, most towns in the North are going the same way. The reasons are many and obvious - shopping malls and Amazon, watching films at home etc. There is no answer really, unless the town centre also becomes a shopping mall with free and easy parking and help to shopkeepers. I can't see it happening TBH.....
Some lovely old photos on this - but where have all the shoppers gone? Meadowhall and Parkgate? Killed the town looking at this - and the 'improvements' certainly haven't, because they have got rid of some beautiful old buildings in the process.
My mum was from Rotherham & I don't even recognize it today from when I was a child. It's absolutely disgraceful what those in power are allowed to do with parts of the country over the years!!!

I was born in Rotherham. Lived there 16years. This collection of very good photos brought back many happy memories.
Sad to see Rotherham lately, I lived there from 1969 until 2008. Kimberworth then Brinsworth. Seen it go from a lovely town to a shithole.
Makes me cry when I see what has happened to Rotherham today. My parents wouldn't recognize it now
