To start with, I do not know Harworth, but my grandparents lived there for a while around 1924. I am told they taught at the sunday school, but I think it might have been at a chapel, not the church. Does anyone have an idea if there was a Methodist chapel in the village at that time, and if... [more]

South Yorkshire memories
I don't know a lot about Blyth, Northumberland, only that for some strange reason I visited an awful lot during my life but thought nothing of it. My current fiancee and I would sit for long periods on the old docks at the bottom of Ridley Street area, eating locally purchased cheeseburgers etc.
I remember once booking a romantic table... [more]

My Nan, 'Nellie Pollard', lived in Guest Villas at the bottom of the hill from Langold, going towards Worksop. I had some great holidays in Langold, I'm sure it was a great place for kids to live during 1970s. If anyone remembers my nan, please drop me a line.

I need help please. I am looking for graves and memories of William and Mary Jones, who died approximately between 1970-1975. My husband's family have been unable to locate the graves. They are believed to be burried in Langold but I am not exactly sure of the cemetery. Are there any cemetery records or newspaper articles that I may be able... [more]

Nottinghamshire Living Memories
An entire colliery village was laid out east of the Tickhill to Blyth road after 1922, and named Bircotes. Between this and the old village of Harworth more estates were built from the 1950s onwards. In this view on Bawtry Road we see the Game Cock pub, built in yellow brick in the mid 1950s and now an hotel. Beyond is the recreation ground,... [more]

Nottinghamshire Living Memories
Moving west to the county's boundary with Yorkshire, our tour reaches Harworth, an old greatly expanded village lying east of the Tickhill to Blyth road. This is coal mining country, and despite all the 1980s and 1990s pit closures and the grassed- over slag heaps that dot west Nottinghamshire, Harworth still has its colliery. Around All Saints' parish church are a few older houses, but the church itself, apart from the medieval tower, was largely rebuilt in... [more]

The Church 1890 In this picture the ancient village church looks brand new; it was. The Reverend Edward Hadley had All Saints completely rebuilt between 1886 and 1888, and paid for it himself.
