Description

Rotherham: A Potted History by James Barker is an accessible historical portrait of the town's transformation over the centuries. From its Roman fort to its industrial past, particularly its steelworks, Rotherham has undergone significant changes. The area around Rotherham was once home to deer parks owned by local lords, and traditional crafts such as coppicing, charcoal burning, milling, and tanning were practiced by the community. The Industrial Revolution brought major expansion in industries like coal mining, iron production, and glass-making, with the Barnsley seam being mined from 1840 to 1850. This illustrated book provides a concise overview of Rotherham's history, making it an interesting read for residents, visitors, and those with connections to the town.
