    DC Cooks was where the Asda is I think, but it may have moved there from somewhere else.

    With the changes in Wath over the years I'd lost my bearing of what was where. Took a look on Google and wasn't DC Cook where Tesco's Petrol Station is now? There also used to be a railway yard in Wath down the road leading to the cricket/rugby clubs but no sign of that or railway lines any more. It was an electrified line (maybe even the terminus of the line) so not the same one that ran through Manvers on the Rotherham-Leeds line.

    Local businesses have been plagued by incidents caused by asylum seekers, the local Tesco has a list of people barred from the store

    There was one incident where a guy was caught trying to walk out of the local library with a pc monitor under his arm from the local studies centre.

    You used to be able to see the railway line from one of the bridges near there.

    There was a big vridge where the rugby/ cricket ground was I seem to remember.

    We near to send someone over to Calais to tell them how if they stay in France they can get a doctor's appointment the same day whereas in the UK it's a two-week wait to get a phone call from a nurse practioner.

    It should say "need" and not "near", and you're one to talk
