More about this scene

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.

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.
