Is it true that the small stone building at the side of the dual carriage that goes from B+Q roundabout to the roundabout near liquid is the mausoleum of samuel walker and family one of the founders of rotherham, if so doesnt it just show how much the council cares about local history as the building is in a sorry state.

It may be that Mr Walker is a very important person but he is not a "founder" of Rotherham. The town is very old with, I belive more ancient and medieval references than, for instance Richmond in North Yorkshire.
