Rotherham The Unofficial Website

The History of Rotherham

history image - quill penHaving lived the larger part of my life in Rotherham I am of the opinion that it is a pretty boring place. I suspect that most of the people over most of the centuries that Rotherham has been inhabited would probably agree with me. From the poor Stone Age sods who chipped their flints on Canklow Hill to the present day youth who get their rocks off in quite different ways I somehow think that Rotherham has never been a centre for La Dolce Vita. Correct me if I'm wrong, even if you have to use a planchette rather than a PC. I dare you.

For those whose socks are bored off them by history skip the next few pages. For those who do not mind theirs as potted as Sutherland's Spread, read on.
