THRYBERGH: Rotherham Parish #23 of 31

There are villages that thrive even in times of trouble. Today's parish is most certainly one of those. For many people here, life would have been tough after the closure of the pits in South Yorkshire, and there are distinctive signs all around this place that life was heavily affected by the events of the late 1980's and the 1990's.

Whilst there are still some areas of this place showing signs of the old, a lot of the parish has been given a new lease of life. Lots of new houses have been built, the school has been upgraded, areas have been given a facelift and in general this isn't a poor, deprived area of Rotherham at the moment. It's a place on the up.

There are features in and around this hilly suburb that remind you of the past, like for example the railway line, now disused and overgrown, and the multitude of pit houses that line the main streets, but the general face of the parish is changing, morphing into something new and fresh.

Attracting visitors is relatively easy with the huge country park in the parish's North Eastern corner, and although the garden centre that was once here has closed it's doors, it still has the lovely Deer Park Farm with it's little tea rooms and farm shop.

The past is still visibly noticeable, but things are certainly changing in modern day THRYBERGH.
