I first knew Tickhill in 1954 and it was always a more "up market" village compared to Dinnington and Maltby. Some of my fellow students at Maltby Grammar lived in Tickhill and were transported to and from by Rossie Motors (a Rossington Bus Company) along with students from Rossington. Keep these videos coming Tim they refresh an old man's memories from far off South Leicestershire.

My family came to Anston in 66 Roy. Dinnington had far superior shops to Tickhill up to the pit strike.

Hello, I finally found something on Tickhill! An ancient (Roman) villa called Stancil brings me there. I believe that is where my family name; Stancil/Stansall originated! My 8xs great grandfather John Stansall/Stancil was born in Chesterfield, Derbyshire in 1661. He emigrated to America; the colony of Virginia in 1683 (later moving down a few miles into North Carolina).. so here I am, Deborah Stancil in North Carolina ♡ I love researching my family research. Thank you for showing me around! ♡

Glad it helped you. During the war my Grandad got a manuscript from the USA showing a link between us and the Mayflower. Scrooby village is a very interesting place, was full of religious dissenters who went to the USA.

That looks like a decent place to live

It looks good on the surface, but I suspect its losing its soul. Plastic pubs and many of the real practical shops are gone, as the townies move in and sanitise the area.

Go there all the time to visit a relative. Good to see it thriving each time but real shame about the Millstone. I feel with the right owner it could've been made into a thriving local instead of another generic Co-op.

I would be interested to know if lockdown made a difference and whether its been watered down?

our family name is Tickle...I wonder if that surname was taken from the name of this town?
