Industrial Rotherham in Pictures by Paul Walters, Giles Brearley
Iron and Steel Town: an Industrial History of Rotherham
by Anthony P. Munford
From the Battle of Trafalgar to the bridges of London, and from St Paul's Cathedral to the Great Eastern steam ship, the influence of Rotherham's
great industries has been felt far beyond the boundaries of Yorkshire. The great furnaces and mills made the cannon that armed Nelson's HMS Victory at Trafalgar, the castings that bridged rivers as far apart as London and Jamaica, the steel straps that were installed to stop the dome of St Paul's from falling apart, the valves used in the Mulberry harbours that made D-Day possible and the plates that clad Isambard Kingdom Brunel's Great Eastern. Rotherham-made pipes helped bring fresh water supplies to Hong Kong. The town's factories made everything from brakes for World War II bombers to fireplaces for great houses like Wentworth Woodhouse

In and Around Rotherham by Peter Tuffrey 
Through a comprehensive collection of over 200 old photographs, all taken by local photographer Edgar Leonard Scrivens, we have the opportunity to catch a glimpse of Rotherham as it was in days gone by.
The photographs give a fascinating view of both Rotherham and many of the surrounding villages including Wentworth, Anston, Bramley, and Dinnington. A variety of aspects of community life are covered from work and leisure to the houses, churches, schools, and business premises that represented the physical form of the community. Many well-known landmarks of this community have been recorded including College Square, Clifton Park and the Chapel on the Bridge.
For all those who have lived in and around Rotherham for many years, this book will provide a nostalgic stroll down memory lane, while for newer residents it serves as an excellent means of discovering more about the community's history.
This is well-known local author Peter Tuffrey's eleventh book in the Archive Photographs series. Like Scrivens' images, Peter's book provides an irresistible and invaluable record of the Rotherham area.
A History of Rotherham Anthony P. Munford
This history of Rotherham traces the development of the town from its prehistoric origins to the end of the second millennium. It encompasses Roman and Anglo-Saxon settlement, the Norman Conquest and the first documentary mention of the town in the Domesday Book, the rebuilding of the parish church as Rotherham expanded in the 15th century, 18th-century industrial development - which changed the small town into a major centre for the iron and steel industries, 19th-century civic consolidation, and the dramatic changes in the townscape during the 20th century.

Foul Deeds and Suspicious Deaths in Rotherham by Kevin Turton
Foul Deeds and Suspicious Deaths in Rotherham' explores in detail crimes of passion, brutal murders, grisly deeds and foul misdemeanours. Death in all its guises conjures up a range of human emotions. In 'Foul Deeds and Suspicious Deaths in Rotherham' both sides of this emotional roller coaster are examined. From Victorian Street crime, where murder for money was more common place and criminal trials often a lottery, to more modern murder where passion, jealousy, or social depravation brought unexpected violence to those involved. From mysterious death to murder and manslaughter, the book is a fascinating insight into not only those whose lives are forever captured by the suffering they endured, but also into the society that moulded and shaped their lives. Take a journey into the darker and unknown side of your area as you read 'Foul Deeds and Suspicious Deaths in Rotherham
