THYLACINE Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 Thanks Carlie167 and RichardB, I'm still trying to work out the mechanics of the site, it's quite complicated for a dinasaur like me. Something I've wanted to know for a long time, I asked this question on the Radio Sheffield Web site on their Miners Strike segment but didn't get a reply. Do you know what happened to Rotherwood Hall, the old manor house which was used by us coke oven workers as a social club? Did it survive the closure and dismantling of the coke ovens? I would love to see a picture. Also was it the same building that was mentioned in Sir Walter Scott's Ivanhoe? This is the first of many questions I have, should I be starting a new post instead of trampling on Poppycat's patch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Phil.The Treeton Website, http://www.treetonweb.co.uk/parish/orgreave.htm mentions this Hall and Ivanhoe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THYLACINE Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 Hi Phil.The Treeton Website, http://www.treetonweb.co.uk/parish/orgreave.htm mentions this Hall and Ivanhoe. Thanks PoppyC, I spent some time on the interesting Treeton Website although references to Rotherwood Hall were a bit scarce. In his novel based in the time of the crusades, Scott says that Rotherwood was the home of Cedric the Saxon, which may have been totally ficticious. I'm interested in the building which was there in the 1960's and could still be there, I just don't know. I suppose the question I should be asking is when was it built. I'm going to pose that question on the SHEFFIELD BUILDINGS - THEIR HISTORY post and see what happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
