When I was a kid back in the fifties you were allowed to play almost anywhere, well I was. Being brought up in the Thornhill/ Masborough area of Rotherham there were loads of places to interest a kid. One such area was Union Street where a stream ran into a gated culvert from derelict industrial land. The stream was almost certainly being used further uphill by some industry because the water flow would rise and fall with little warning.
About a mile away towards Rotherham there was an area called New York, here a stream ran under the road and I was told it was the same one that flowed into the Union Street culvert and was in fact the River Mas , after which Masbro' was named.



Has anyone else heard of the River Mas or does anyone even know the area I'm talking about?



and an answer:


River mas still flows freely at the back of bradgate club then disappeares under bradgate park

"The stream being most certainly up hill by some sort of industry" Could that have been a bit Abbey dale hamletish type industry. I dunno just guessing...

All of the local rivers were used by industries for one reason or another. Sometimes for motive power but specifically in our region for cooling water and for flushing through toilet blocks. Many of the older buildings at the side of the Don and Rother had trough toilets were the turds etc were flushed out by water troughs from and back into the river.

It takes about 650 to 700 gallons of water to produce 1 ton of ingot steel. More for steel rolling.

As river levels can fluctuate with the weather many companies had holding ponds to maintain supply. Which is why levels could rise and fall quickly in culverts

Just read that Millmoor was the site of a former flour mill

Yes that’s been put forward before, apart from the problem of the site being the old Midland Steel Works and the railway sidings that served it. Not a flour mill

Stoke 0 Wednesday 0 HT
Same score at HT Preston v Watford

Notable HT in L1 is Bristol R 2 Portsmouth 1 where Rovers have come from behind.

And if you stood there and looked towards what became the railway end of the ground you would see Ickes Corn Mill in the distance

I think Boro might be a relegation rival soon
