HEMSWORTH ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: - It's important to note that the Holgate Hospital buildings shown here were built in 1859 to 1860. They are the third set of buildings that the hospital has occupied., the hospital having existed long before these were constructed. Prior to this they were sited behind the parish church in Hemsworth in what is now Rectory Garth. The site of the first set of almshouses is not certain but is thought to be where Southmoor hospital once was. The buildings on Robin Lane were built in the Victorian Gothic style, and originally consisted of 20 cottages, a Chapel, a board room, a cottage for the Porter and Matron and the Masters house. Four more cottages were added in 1914, and latterly a community room was added in 2015. - There used to be an underground roadway linking Fitzwilliam Main Colliery shaft to 'Hemsworth pit' shaft which was a stones throw away from Vale Head Park. That shaft was on the opposite side of the road to the Park. - The Hemsworth shaft was what was known as an egress shaft, similar to the shaft at Ackworth
Additional information from Hemsworth from 13 years experience, it is a crap place and we can’t have anything nice or people will steal it or break it and some streets smells like dr*gs
I find this fascinating, as my granparents lived in hemsworth from the 60s to the 90s, and as a result i had been there often growing up in the 80s and 90s. They orginally lived on the scotch estate, which was called such due to the amount of scottish mining families who had migrated there in the 60s when some of the mines closed down in scotland. I still remembered seeing some of those streets that you went down, and i used to enjoy going to hemsworth water park, there is nothing like that near where i live.
I've moved away 14 years ago from there! Only changed I've seen is more new houses, better shops even KFC. Before KFC it used to be a marketplace. Every Wednesday I'd thinks I'd used to go there with my Grandma always buying sweets from stalls and buying CD's even DVD's movies. I was brought up from Ashfield road then moved around to different streets in Hemsworth thinks it 5 times. Until 14 years ago I'd left for an personal reason
Little bit of information - there used to be an underground roadway linking Fitzwilliam (Main) Colliery shaft to 'Hemsworth pit' shaft which was a stones throw away from Hemsworth Vale Head Park. That shaft was on the opposite side of the road to the Park. Probably explains the name change to Hemsworth Colliery as the said roadway basically accompanied the sinking of the shaft at the Hemsworth end. Fitzwilliam Drift Mine was created of course some time after the old mineworkings closed. The Hemsworth shaft was what was known as an egress shaft (exit out only) similar to the shaft at Ackworth (which incidentally also had an underground roadway linking to that pit's Featherstone shaft!).
Fitzwilliam...*flinches at the memories* 😉 Only joking. I spent several years helping at a local history project in Tinsley, Sheffield, where I spent hours going through the Wentworth Muniments records at Sheffield archives. If I remember rightly the oldest record was from Edward the 3rd or 4th (not 100% sure now). It was my job to transcribe Tinsley Rentals - paid to the Fitzwilliam estate - from the days when part of the rent was paid in chickens, up to the early 20th century. No wonder I have trauma 😅 Would definitely do it again!
@@TheVillageIdiot I should've worked backwards from the most recent in retrospect, because the oldest ones didn't make a whole lot of time at first round. I had to redo them 😅 Different types of chicken were worth different amounts, and the landlord decided how many were part of the tenant's rent. It worked at the time.

In chickens? Well, nothing like cutting out the middle man haha. Sounds like fun though, I'd have certainly loved a go at that
