Some cracking old photo’s. I was born and brought up in Rawmarsh. Remember going to the Regal to watch a Beatles film in the 60’s.
The old Market Hall and outdoor market in Rotherham used to be packed with people. There was also an overflow outside market on Main Street opp the old Post Office and where the Sorting Office is now.

Brilliant video, once again. 5:29 The smokebox number plate 61050 has been in my ownership for 60 years. Given to me by a lovely gentleman who worked at Canklow Shed.

Rotheram folk you have won my admiration. There are none of the usual “ oh life was so much better then” and “ no immigrants in those days” comments that are normally left for this type of post.

Said it on part 1 or 2 but this is fantastic, I love anything like this and although I’m only 39 years old and don’t immediately recognise the vast majority of the pictures, some I do recognise. Especially those around Brinsworth and Whiston. Where dod you manage to get all these pictures from?

A QUESTION. I remember watching the then controversial film, "Rock around the Clock" in a cinema in Rotherham. The film was controversial because it was reported that the film stirred up people to such an emotional high state that the seats were being ripped up. In Rotherham the crowded cinema floor was bouncing up and down when people stamped their feet in time with the beat. I was genuinely concerned that the building might start vibrating and collapse for the same reason as marching soldiers are ordered to break step when marching across a bridge. By a process of deduction I believe the cinema was the Tivoli. Am I right? It definitely was not the Empire (Essoldo) or the Odeon.
