Born and brought up in Rotherham.A great town in the past but now sadly not what it used it to be.

Rothertham does have a  major piece of history that is not well known about,making cannons for the Royal navy, back in the days of Nelson.

At the battle of trafalgar most of the cannons on the ships were made in Rotherham,by the Walker family.
