School road
I used to live at 5 School Road nearly 20 years ago. My mum used to work at Dianes florists on Donny Road and my Dad managed the Corner Pocket snooker club. I still visit there now as my stepmum lives on Donny Road and my Dad, I'm very sad to say, is buried at Langold cemetery.
Langold has so many memories for me from when I was little and I will always cherish them forever. I would love to visit my old house on School Road.

Donny Road
I used to live opposite these shops and I can honestly say the place is just the same today as when this photo was taken.

Extracts From Langold & Nottinghamshire books
Immediately south-
west of the village
and approached
via Church Street is
Langold Country Park,
dominated by a fine
lake. It was laid out
as the landscaped
park to a country
house that was never
built, although the
foundations were laid
in 1818. Acquired by
the Coal Board, the
park was managed as
a recreational facility
for their mining
village of Langold.
An extract from from"Nottinghamshire Living Memories".
Continuing south towards
Worksop on the A60, the
route reaches Langold,
situated a mile south of
Oldcotes. The village was
built to house the coalminers
of nearby Costhorpe Colliery,
now closed. Out of view on
the left is the village, mostly
neat former 1950s Coal
Board and council houses,
and on the right is the main
shopping parade along the
Doncaster Road. The village
had its own cinema, the
Palace, the white building
with the semi-circular
pediment; it is now a bar and
snooker hall.
An extract from from"Nottinghamshire Living Memories".
When the Coal Board closed
the mine, the park was
taken over by Worksop Rural
District Council; in 1974 it
passed to the new Bassetlaw
District Council, who now
administer it. To the south
of the lake the Coal Board
built a children’s swimming
pool. It was later made
rectangular, but now appears
disused and empty of water.
The buildings have been
demolished, but the park
is well used and the lake is
popular with fishermen.
An extract from from"Nottinghamshire Living Memories".
The low two-storeyed rendered building on the left in the
middle distance is the 16th-century, timber-framed Saracen’s
Head. Here, in May 1646, Charles I spent his last night
of freedom. Tactfully, the pub changed its name from the
King’s Head to the Saracen’s Head soon after Charles was beheaded.
