Title: What's The Best Village In Doncaster?
Post by: Bentley Bullet on December 21, 2020, 11:04:07 pm
Or should that be What's The Second Best, after Bentley?

Does, for instance, Thorne, where the only carbon footprint contribution is the church has an unleaded roof, rock your boat?

Or maybe Scawsby, where they think TV's Antiques Roadshow is Tomorrows World?

Or maybe Askern, where they keep their money safe under the mattress because burglars never check the garden?

Or maybe a beautiful, unspoilt, chocolate box village, like Bentley?

You spot one that looks really hard but they’re actually as soft as shit.

Is Bentley a village?

More a suburb or small semi-aquatic town, periodically disappearing beneath the waters of the Don. Doncasters very own Atlantis.

How about Austerfield that once sent out religious zealots full of puritanical zeal with the ambition to subdue the American continent? Doncasters very own Mecca.

Adwick le Street, where in the local church can be seen the Stars and Stripes shield of the Washington family, that inspired the American national flag and the family that once provided the American president?

It seems Doncasterians have Some inate desire to try and run America.

Bentley is on the side of the bridge that is North of the river. When industry from South uncaringly polluted the water, the Northside had barriers to stop locals falling into the scummy water.

The Southside had springboards.

2. Spare parts are aplenty regarding vauxhall viva/ allegro's.

3. Heroin is way cheaper.

4. pound shop is cheaper.

5. Outsiders can walk into the dentist and treated without waiting in a queue.

Back in the day mining villages folk had cut-down names for their local pits. For instance, Brodsworth pit was known as Broddy pit, Rossington pit was known as Rosso pit. Edlington pit was called Edlo pit etc.

Arm pit, however, was considered too near the knuckle for Armthorpe folk.

The residents complained due to idiots standing by the sign to get their photos taken with their trollies down. I believe it is now Archer's Way or something. Who in their right mind thought it was a good idea to call it Butt Hole Road beggars belief. I can't think why DMBC gave it the all clear.
There is a Fanny Hands Lane in Lincolnshire.

I seem to remember playing Highfields for my Stainy School Team. We beat them 9-3 at home and I got my first goal of the Season from right half

Cant remember the away game score but I am sure the pitch had terraced houses behind each goal and years later I played for an adult Team and sure that was on the same pitch

Edenthorpe.

Thanks for coming.

Born and raised in Edenthorpe. Lived there for 14+ years and still visit regularly to see friends, brother and Dad.

Would have to agree with you, I think.

Everything you need within walking distance. Home of the Ridgewood as well.

Heaven.

It did help Bentley prosper. It employed quite a few criminals at one point before they started deporting them to Australia.



Prosper , I see what you did there

However, if any of you wish to visit, you'll have to check with me first. There's a small surcharge to pay to keep the riff-raff out.

  In days gone by places were named by what industry that was in the area Shiefs of corn were stooked in the fields hence Sheiffield, when the corn was threshed they stored it in big barns in the lee of the Pennine hills hence Barnsley.
 With the population of these places getting larger, they had to take their human waste down to the river and cast it into the tidal river hence the name Dungcaster of course over time some of the names changed slightly.

I was only there about 18 months between jobs at  Rockware and the Prudential. I started very early and finished about 11:30. It used to be a rush to be among the first on the loading dock. One day I was in such a rush that I drive off still connected to the charging point. On a bad day you did start to lose charge as you went back. Some happy memories though.
