About

Maltby East sits on the eastern side of the town of Maltby in the Metropolitan Borough of Rotherham. The area is mainly residential, with rows of former miners' terraces, modern housing developments and a mix of local shops, schools and community facilities serving everyday needs. Streets near the town centre link to the market and to St Bartholomew’s parish church, and small parks and allotments provide open space within the neighbourhood. Local services include a library, primary schools and a community centre that hosts clubs and events.

The eastern fringe of Maltby is marked by the legacy of coal working: Maltby Main Colliery and its infrastructure shaped street patterns and employment until the pit closed in 2013. Remnants of industrial layout — former railway alignments and the footprint of colliery buildings — are still visible in places, and some former industrial land has been returned to grass or repurposed for housing. The area has a mix of long-standing community institutions and newer residential infill, giving a clear link between its mining past and present-day life.
