Welcome to Rotherham The Unofficial Website's Homepage.The website is about the town and borough of Rotherham and its people. It is not endorsed, supported, approved or authorised by any governing body and surprise! - it's a website.
I can say, without modesty or shame, that all the comments and opinions proffered on Rotherham The Unofficial Website are my own. Those of any contributors are shown in italics.
So where is Rotherham? It is a town and a borough situated in the county of South Yorkshire, England – X marks the spot on the map above. Despite the demise of most of the collieries and the closure of many steelworks Rotherham is still an industrial town. The metropolitan borough of Rotherham includes suburban areas, rural villages, open countryside and the towns of Dinnington, Maltby and Wath–upon–Dearne.
I have tried to cover a variety of subjects about Rotherham of interest to citizens of the town, expatriate Rotherhamites, regular visitors, casual visitors and the just plain surfing. I hope you find something you like.
