Voices from Rotherham: Turning words into action
children from Clifton School, plus their teacher, embarking on a local history walk Cholera, calamity and Clifton Park!

We wanted to see the historical sights of East and Central Rotherham - so who better to show us than the kids from Clifton School?
Join the intrepid party on their trek...

A poignant memorial - take the tour and find out why

There may be some people who doubt that Rotherham's full of fascinating history.

But those people obviously haven't been on a stroll with teacher Peter Hawkridge, or his budding tour-guide pupils.

How much do you know about East Dene's cholera burial ground?

Or the great church-building disaster of St Ann's?

If your answer is "not much", you're in luck - because you can now take a six-minute local history walk from the comfort of your own home.
