About this title

From the Back Cover

Through a comprehensive collection of over 200 old photographs, all taken by local photographer Edgar Leonard Scrivens, we have the opportunity to catch a glimpse of Rotherham as it was in days gone by.

The photographs give a fascinating view of both Rotherham and many of the surrounding villages including Wentworth, Anston, Bramley, and Dinnington. A variety of aspects of community life are covered from work and leisure to the houses, churches, schools, and business premises that represented the physical form of the community. Many well-known landmarks of this community have been recorded including College Square, Clifton Park and the Chapel on the Bridge.

For all those who have lived in and around Rotherham for many years, this book will provide a nostalgic stroll down memory lane, while for newer residents it serves as an excellent means of discovering more about the community's history.

This is well-known local author Peter Tuffrey's eleventh book in the Archive Photographs series. Like Scrivens' images, Peter's book provides an irresistible and invaluable record of the Rotherham area.
