About

Rawmarsh North West is a ward within the Metropolitan Borough of Rotherham covering part of the town of Rawmarsh. The area is mainly residential, with a mix of terraced streets and later housing estates. Local shopping parades, primary schools and community halls serve day-to-day needs, while bus services connect the ward to Rotherham town centre and neighbouring settlements. Street patterns reflect 19th- and 20th-century development linked to local industry, and rows of former miners' houses remain part of the built fabric.

Small parks and sports pitches are scattered through the ward, including land laid out from miners' welfare trusts that now supports local football and informal recreation. Fragments of former colliery land and disused railway alignments are still visible and in places have been repurposed as walking routes or green corridors. Community groups and parish councils use the ward's halls and open spaces for local events and practical services that support residents across Rawmarsh North West.
