About

Thurcroft & Wickersley South is a primarily residential ward on the southern edge of Rotherham. The area encompasses the former mining village of Thurcroft and the southern suburbs of the larger Wickersley settlement. Housing is a mix of interwar and post-war terraces, semis, and more recent developments, with local retail concentrated along Bawtry Road. The landscape is characterised by open farmland and green spaces bordering the urban areas, including Thurcroft Hall Park.

A notable local feature is the preserved headstock and winding wheel of the former Thurcroft Colliery, which ceased production in 1991. This industrial heritage site stands as a central landmark. The ward is served by several schools and community facilities, with transport links provided by the A631. Land to the south is largely agricultural, marking the transition from town to countryside.
