A Memory of Swallownest.

High St is the main rd or the A57 going through Swallownest on to Sheffield. On the left was the main bus stop, presumably the people are waiting for the bus. When I was 13 (1963) its the stop I used to catch the bus going to Woodhouse grammer school. In the distance the lorry is at the cross roads, left to Beighton and right to Rotherham. Beighton is where we went train spotting on the main lines at the old signal box, passing brookhouse pit on the left. Where the house is on the left was a track leading to farm lands and the sewage works.
