The Old Orgreave Hall

Recommended Posts

Does anyone know what happened to the stone from the old Orgreave Hall which was demolishedin the 90s to make way for the opencast mining ?

The hall was down the lane from Rotherham Road cross roads at Handsworth.

i was under the impression that the stone was going to be used in building a community hall in the area ?

I heard at the time, that it was going to be into another place exactly the same, in another location. Never heard anything else about it since !

Doesn't answer your question but may be of interest to you. Did you have any connection with Orgreave Hall? Also, Rotherwood Hall seems to be missing from the list of demolished buildings on the web site you posted.

Hi , i had no connection other than i used to enjoy playing snooker at the Hall in the 70s.

I remember Rotherwood Hall and the adjacent rookery.

Did you have any connection ? did you used to live in the area ?

I lived at Hackenthorpe, then Firvale and worked at Orgreave Coke ovens from 1966 to 1972. Rotherwood Hall served as offices for the coke ovens and also our social club. I spent many enjoyable evenings there playing darts and snooker, listening to music and just chatting with all the young guys and girls who worked at the plant. I never visited Orgreave Hall and only found out recently that they had both been demolished. I tried to find out some of the history of Rotherwood and contacted someone in the US whose parents and grandparents had lived there through both wars. He sent me a couple of family photos of the Hall. They are fantastic.

I used to drink in there in the mid 80's. Used to be ran by a woman called Dot as i remember.

Nice old place, still had old servants quarters to rear.

I often wondered what happened to the 16th century date stone from the front of the building ?
