About

Dinnington is a town in the Metropolitan Borough of Rotherham, South Yorkshire, that expanded rapidly with the growth of coal mining in the early 20th century. Terraced streets and former pit sites remain part of the street pattern, and St Leonard’s church sits close to the town centre. Local shops, a library and community health services are grouped along the main shopping streets, where a market and small independent traders still operate on scheduled days. The built environment mixes interwar housing with later residential developments on land that once held colliery infrastructure.

Community life is anchored by the Welfare Ground, home to Dinnington Town FC, and by clubs that grew out of the mining era. Parks and strips of reclaimed green space follow old railway alignments and offer routes for walkers and cyclists. Bus services link the town with neighbouring centres, and recent local projects have reused former industrial plots for housing and allotments. Civic groups run seasonal events and keep records of the area’s mining history for local schools and residents.
