About

Worksop Town & South covers central Worksop and the southern neighbourhoods within Bassetlaw. The town centre sits around the Priory Church of St Mary and St Cuthbert, with parts dating from the 12th century and backing onto the market square. The River Ryton runs through the centre and shapes several riverside routes. Worksop railway station on the Sheffield–Lincoln line provides direct rail links to Sheffield and Lincoln, and local shops, civic services and community venues cluster around the high street and market.

The southern sector combines residential streets, parks and pockets of light industry. Schools, health centres and sports facilities serve local neighbourhoods; public green space includes riverside paths along the Ryton. The area has a history of coal working and quarrying, visible in former pit sites and some estate layouts. Road and bus connections link the south wards to the town centre and to other parts of Bassetlaw, making it a practical base for local services and travel.
