Nice work. I now live in the South but I am proud to be a Rotherhamer. This brings a tear to my eye as it must be the world that my Grandparents knew. Its in my blood. Thanks very much for putting this together.

Thanks once more for the vids Bryan, And excuse my little trip down memmory lane......It really is time the stall holders and shop holders took the town council to task, ie Withold there business rates. till the council abolishes parking fees, Which are styfilling and strangling our town And stopping folks coming to our shop/stall doors to buy the goods that are the towns life blood. Why should we pay for there dinner and dances and the lord mares ball. Sod the Fat cats. ( FREE PARKING FOR ALL )

I can remember When i was a kid we used to walk the five miles to rotherham regularly. not like kids today, Lol Taxi here taxi there. No we walked it, and loved it. Coopers toy stall used to mesmerise me, Wow all those train sets and scalextrics airfix models. Used to set my imagination on fire. we never did get any of them though, No not a chance. I came from a pretty poor family mabs and paper kites (homemade were our main toys) but we enjoyed them. And in the evening it was tiggy and hiddy.--

Cheers bryan, I am all but in tears seeing my old town in its glory days. I was born in 58 and can remember the old rotherham really well. was like a bee hive buzzing with people from all walks of life. So sad to see what a greedy gruby little council can do to there own town. I wounder how many grubby little brown envelopes (deal sweeteners) passed hands to bring it to the state it is in today. Pedestrianisation and greedy parking fees have now finaly put the last nail in the coffin. So sad
