ECW - Northern Association for P&S

Yes, it was a prison at one time. Everything is still there intact. It is quite amazing that people don't know about it. Like I said, it is just about the only place where you can see a chantry bridge today. However, we are talking about Rotherham and the council aren't known for supporting such things. Their idea of a tourist attraction is "Rotherham By The Sea"! This consists of dumping a load of sand by the fountain in All Saints square just below All Saints Church and put out a load of deck chairs, so that the local chavs can feel like they're at the seaside. Makes you proud to live here.

Having been brought up in Rotherham, i had no idea that it had any history of the Civil War

I can see the Chantry Bridge action being a nice little scenario although the posh boys from the Grammar School may need some reinforcements from Kimberworth ..

Thomas Rotherham College was the old Grammar School.

Hi Ian

I've been distracted by a British Nap 28mm army

I have enough painted Early Parliamentarians to game with for the moment although i have as much again unpainted.

I went off the idea of the Northern Association when i realised that it had so many clubmen. Where's the glamour of the Northern Horse equivalent when you need it?
