Rotherham - former school on Down's Row
This former school (with small churchyard) is tucked away at the end of a side street (Down's Row) off of Moorgate Street. The history of the school is provided on an inscribed stone in the building's exterior east wall as follows:
"In the year 1702 a school for the education of poor children in Rotherham was endowed by THOMAS HOLLIS SENR of London and afterwards by his descendants. And in 1789 THIS BUILDING was erected and the school further endowed for the same purpose, by the contributions of several of the Trustees and other Protestant Dissenters".

Rotherham - view west from steps to Oil Mill Fold
This view is taken from the top of the steps that connect Down's Row with Oil Mill Fold. On a clear day it should be possible to see both the old (Millmoor) and new (New York) Rotherham United Football Club's grounds and, beyond them, to the hills north of Sheffield. This was a particularly hazy day. However, the new multi-storey Rotherham Council offices are readily identifiable in the top right-hand quadrant of the photo.

Rotherham Rural District Council Offices Grove Road built 1923
These offices on Grove Road were built for the old Rotherham Rural District Council in 1923. The original building is very smart, but there are awful 1960s additions to it.
