 Knowhere: Stocksbridge, South Yorkshire, Best and Worst, Triumphs and Tragedies
Best things about Stocksbridge are the strong sense of community, Ayingerbrau, long walks on the moors in the summer (take a few beers and have a smoke up there, best views I've ever seen) Playing hide and seek in the woods behind the infant school, bilberry picking, the aqua run at the swimming baths.
The amount of trouble on the main road at weekends, the drugs problem, the decline of Stocksbridge youth centre (what happened to playscheme?) the lack of motivation in the young people, the lack of jobs, the lack of investment.
The worst thing to happen to stocksbridge was the decline of the steelworks, "Samuel Foxes".This was brought about by Margaret Thatchers policies in the nineteen eighties.
