DaBouncer Posted August 1, 2003 Share Posted August 1, 2003 Some of my family are from Treeton (outskirts of Rotherham) and I would love to live there. Nice friendly ex-coal miners village. Nice housing, low crime and great scenery. Nowt wrong with Rotherham IMHO. There are worse holes in Sheffield than Rotherham. Originally posted by Kittykat The hospital is very nice set in woodland so has lots of trees and squirrels and the staff are very nice, i wouldnt mind working there once ive done the degree, its as good as any in sheffield as far as medical photography is concerned. I have a problem with Rotherham General, they have a bad rep as far as patient care is concerned and a high mortality rate. Gimme the Hallamshire any day of the week!

Don_Kiddick Posted January 7, 2005 Share Posted January 7, 2005 Just thought I'd bring this one out of the archives for all those Rotherham folk on the Sheffield Forum. edited Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 7, 2005 Share Posted January 7, 2005 Not much of a fan of Rotherham, born there, In Doncaster Gate Hospital, lived there all my life, went to college at RCAT which isnt a good college in my opinion. Although I adore rother valley country park, every sunday in the summer I walk there and spend a good few hours, its a fantastic place, I was considering moving near to Clifton Park but then changed my mind and looking for somewhere in Sheffield Susie xx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1Man&hisBMW Posted January 8, 2005 Share Posted January 8, 2005 Originally posted by t020 Most of Rotherham is a bit of a 'hole. The "good" area, Moorgate, is supposedly a nice place to live but if you ask me its just an overpriced area as its nearish to the town centre and has no good areas surrounding it. Rotherham is a good place to go to look at litter, big electric pylons, graffiti, a run down town centre, and factories on every corner with chimneys giving off god knows what. On the plus side, theres rarely any bad traffic, and if you dare live there, its a very cheap place to live. Worst part of Rotherham? From what I've seen I'd probably say Dalton. Clearly you don't know much about Moorgate and its surrounding little areas such as Whiston, and Broom It has lovely houses, clean roads ans footpaths, and has always been a very nice area, not because its close to the centre, but simply because its well established and has invididual homes of great character there. The prices are high because there is a demand, and the supply is low. The downside to moorgate is the road is way too busy, especially at the Bawtry road end.

Rotherham - where a monkey could stand for Labour and win (oops sorry already has) I'm a rotherham lad myself (brinny) and to say it is going downhill would be an understatement, shops in town centre are bank, pound shop, shoe shop, bank, pub, pound shop, pound shop, chairty shop, bank, phone shop, (you get the idea) Sad to say it but town centre is dying on its arse when Marks and spencer is replaced by Hitchens! True a lot of the outlaying region of Rotherham is nice (ulley, Wentworth area) would agree about Rother Valley NOT being in Rotherham. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
