O/T Best things about Rotherham

[great_fire]

A positive thread for once!

Apart from the football club I'd say it's the wildflowers in the central reservations and on the roundabouts, proof that there's at least one RMBC employee who has good ideas and isn't a total numpty.

The beautiful Doncaster Gate Hospital !

Yes those wildflowers are fantastic to see. They have inspired me to create two Meadows in a couple of the Paddocks I own and they’re coming on a treat

Second good thing it’s not in Sheffield - sorry couldn’t resist

The good thing is that it’s on relatively high ground so many parts of eastern England will be reclaimed by the sea before Rotherham

Clifton Park and the museum. Most of it is unchanged and a pleasure to walk through.

Good shout. Always love visiting the Park. If it was the same park, but in London it would be a Hipster paradise!

Indeed, I had a great time visiting the Museum. I was a schoolkid last time I was there and it was a pleasure to walk round the old place again and to see that Nelson and the two-bodied cat etc are still there. Very friendly people and everything spotless and well cared for. Well worth a visit, in fact worth more than one visit. Special mention to Brin for suggesting the visit, giving me a guided tour, and also for taking me there x

You say not Sheffield but BBC Look North reported this from Sheffield not Rotherham

Canklow.
Born and bred there and learnt the ‘dark arts’ of survival in an unforgiving world.
Canklow made me what I am,an entrepreneur and serial liar.

Covered already , we’re not in Sheffield!

Expanding on CT’s points, I’ll mention Wentworth Woodhouse. Just wait until this place is renovated, what a spectacular building encompassed in all the wonderful countryside.
