About

Rotherham Central sits on the south bank of the River Don, where the town centre clusters around College Walk shopping and the Market Place. Rail and bus links meet at Rotherham Central station and the adjacent bus interchange, giving direct services to Sheffield and nearby towns. Pedestrian routes connect the High Street with riverside footpaths and the indoor market on Market Street, and short walks from the station lead to cafés and independent shops.
All Saints' Church, elevated to minster status in 2004, occupies Church Street beside the market and its tower is a local marker when arriving by rail. Civic buildings, the town hall and community venues sit within a compact grid of streets that record the town's commercial history. A riverside path follows the Don through the centre, passing a sequence of bridges and quays that reflect the area's industrial past, and public improvements have focused on linking transport, retail and river access for day-to-day use.
