I am going to a party in Dinnington on sat, anyone know how i can get there from Sheffield Centre?:loopy:

You can get a bus from the interchange. Can't remember any of the numbers i'm afraid, takes between 30 minutes (on the X bus) and 45 minutes on the standard service.

taxi back to sheffield will only cost around £12.00

Dinnington is ok, but some of the areas aren't nice

Look on the right of This Map (http://www.streetmap.co.uk/newmap.srf?x=445000&y=385000&z=5&sv=445000,385000&st=4&ar=N&mapp=newmap.srf&searchp=newsearch.srf).
You will see Dinnington between Maltby and Worksop.

I think that there is a time difference there, though.
Set your watch back about 200 years. :hihi:

It cost £20 10 years ago. I doubt it's got any cheaper.

The last bus into town is at about 11pm (just before).

I'm puzzled by the hotel reference though, there isn't a hotel in Dinnington.

There is a pub called "The Lordens Hotel", but it's definitely a pub and not a hotel.

Dinnington isn't dangerous, although the Lordens is a bit of a dive and at the wrong end of the village.

Chuff me I'm glad I dont live there.:suspect:

I don't think i will be going, I thought it sounded quite posh, like a stately home type hotel in a pretty classy village - seems i am sadly mistaken!

Taxi to dinnington is ALOT more expensive than it is to travel to sheffield from dinnington..

However it's not all as nice as that, but where you are these views are 1 minutes walk away.

Have a nice night. Locals look a bit rough and ready but normally only fight between themselves.:thumbsup:

Where exactly in Dinnington is it ?

Lordens.

What you have to realise is that Dinny is an old mining village (In fact the Lordens hotel was built by striking miners in 1926)

And it's WYSIWYG basically.

Grudges go on for years here, last thursday, 2 blokes in their 60'S were squaring up in the Lordens about something that happened 40 years ago (One of the blokes dogs ate some food off the other bloke so he hung his dog) True.

here's a link, the lordens is second on the list.

Location wise, if you were looking at a map of Dinnington, it would be to the NE, in fact it might be the most NorthEasterly building in the village as beyond that it's just fields.

i used to go to lourdens years ago for battle of the bands on a thursday night- we were only 16 and they never bothered about serving us!

The locals have to fight. They can't run away with their 3 toed,webbed feet. As for transport, try stagecoach. No. Not the bus operator

when was that? I went to BotB a few times, probably about 11 or 12 years ago. (Could also get served without any problem).

I think that there is a time difference there, though.
Set your watch back about 200 years. :hihi:

don't be so rude. I know for a fact that many of the houses have electricity and some even have horseless carriages :P

the buses that run there are X2, 23 or 23a

It's an up and coming area then?

It's an up and coming area then?
At the bottom end there is a new industrial estate which will be printing "The Star" and national newspapers.

On a good note, There is a new Brewsters type pub nearly finished as well.

Lordens is fine.

Did she actually say the party was at the Lordens though ??

Lordens is fine.
It is fine, and does a lovely Sunday carvery, but it's no good telling half of these, Still got their knuckles scraping on the floor.

Lordens is fine.

It's a hole !!!

It is in the very bowels of Hades. A black and sinister place of grotesque misery and suffering where the cruely tormented souls of long forgotten sinners cry out in eternal anguish.

Well im 25 now so it would say 9 or 10 years ago- was soo mcuh fun- get really drunk then mess about on the plastic slide/tree around the back.

You're a few years younger than me, so it probably wasn't at quite the same time.

Sid - sounds like jealousy, were you told to get out and not come back after pestering the local ladies?

It might not be the lordens, that was just my guess based on the 'hotel' comment.
Anyone else volunteer anything resembling a hotel in dinnington?

the buses that run there are X2, 23 or 23a

Do the 19 and the 85 not exist anymore?

edit - 19 may have been worksop/rotherham.

Is it your party?

Is it Heck. I pm 'd the poster earlier

ah I see. She didn't confirm the lordens in the thread;

Its in hotel for an engagement party, I don't know anything about Dinnington is it not a nice place?

ah I see. She didn't confirm the lordens in the thread;
She did'nt, thats why I PM'd her.
Sounds like She's not bothered now. :hihi: Can't understand why.

She should go to battle of the bands instead (if they still do it).

I wouldn't bother with the buses, as they take ages to get there and, if memory serves, finish ridiculously early anyway.

If travelling by taxi I strongly recommend booking one in advance to bring you home; I've tried to ring for one from that area late on a Friday/Saturday night on numerous occasions in the past and drawn a blank - there aren't many taxi firms based there, the ones that are are generally booked solid and a lot of the Sheffield/Rotherham companies sometimes won't come that far out if they're really busy.
