Mexborough Power Station

Denaby Ings are a nature reserve on the River Dearne, encompassing an area of 23 hectares north of Denaby Main, Doncaster, South Yorkshire, near the town of Mexborough. The Trans Pennine Trail passes here. The habitats include open water, water meadows, woodland scrub and hedgerows. Birdwatching is a popular activity there. The area has been classed as a Site of Special Scientific Interest since 11 August 1983.

Denaby Main is a village situated between Mexborough and Conisbrough in the Metropolitan Borough of Doncaster in South Yorkshire, England. The village falls within the Doncaster MBC ward of Conisbrough and Denaby. It was built by the Denaby Main Colliery Company to house its workers and their families, and originally given the name Denaby Main Colliery Village, to distinguish it from the village of Denaby, about ⅔ mile away on the road to Hooton Roberts and Kilnhurst; from that time, the old village became known as Old Denaby. In due course the "Colliery Village" part of the name was lost, leaving the village to be known as Denaby Main.

Mexborough (Ferry Boat) Halt was a small railway station on the South Yorkshire Railway's line between Barnsley and Doncaster in South Yorkshire, England. It was intended to serve the township of Mexborough and the village parish of Old Denaby where it was situated, the boundary being the River Don. It was close by the Ferry Boat crossing of the river and the swing bridge over the canal, a short distance from the original centre of Mexborough, around where the parish church now stands. At this point the line is crossed by a footpath which connects Mexborough to Old Denaby. Access to the platform was from this path. The railway was controlled by a signal box known as "Ferry Boat Crossing". It is believed that the station closed, along with Mexborough Junction railway station on the opening of the new, present day Mexborough station in 1871.

Denaby is a civil parish in the Metropolitan Borough of Doncaster in South Yorkshire, England. It had a population in 2001 of 326, increasing slightly to 329 at the 2011 Census. Denaby was historically a township within the parish of Mexborough. It became a separate civil parish in 1866. In 1921 the eastern part of the parish including Denaby Main was transferred to neighbouring Conisbrough, leaving the parish of Denaby focussed on the older village, now known as Old Denaby. Old Denaby is in the Parliamentary constituency of Don Valley.

St John's Church is the parish church of Mexborough, a town between Rotherham and Doncaster in South Yorkshire, in England. The church was built in the 12th century, and the core survives from this period. The chancel is 13th century, while other parts date from the 14th and 15th century. The south aisle was rebuilt in 1891, and an apse was added. The church was Grade I listed in 1986. It is dedicated to St John the Baptist. The church is built of sandstone; the chancel with rubble, and other parts with coursed stone. The roofs are a mixture of lead and copper. The nave has north and south aisles, a south porch, and a clerestory on the north side. The tower is at the west end, with a two-light west window, buttresses, gargoyles, a parapet, and an octagonal spire. The chancel has a priest's door, several lancet windows, and one three-light window, in addition to the 19th century polygonal apse.Inside, the nave roof is 15th or 16th century. There is a piscina in the chancel, and the font is Mediaeval. In the south aisle are the remains of a cross which dates from between the 10th and 12th centuries. There are several 17th century monuments, and 17th century oak panelling in the apse, which may have been relocated from Mexborough Old Hall. The Creed, Lord's Prayer and the Ten Commandments are inscribed in the north aisle, uncovered by the Victorian restoration, and some of the stalls were designed by Robert Thompson.

Denaby Halt was a small railway station on the Dearne Valley Railway (DVR), intended to serve the mining community of Denaby Main in South Yorkshire, England, although it was some distance from there, in what was described as "a marshy wilderness". The station was opened on 3 June 1912. Its full title, as shown on its nameboard, was Denaby for Conisboro' and Mexboro. The halt was located between Edlington Halt, the eastern passenger terminus of the line and Harlington Halt. The DVR was operated by the Lancashire & Yorkshire Railway and was built in order to tap the coal traffic available in the area, which could be shipped through their port at Goole. The line offered a passenger service between Wakefield and Edlington, near Doncaster. The halt was closed on 1 January 1949.

Denaby and Conisbrough railway station was a small station, the southern terminus of the South Yorkshire Junction Railway branch from Wrangbrook Junction. The station, built to serve Denaby Main and Conisbrough, near Doncaster, South Yorkshire, England, was situated just to the north of the Mexborough to Doncaster line of the Manchester, Sheffield and Lincolnshire Railway, close by the road linking the villages in its name. Access to the station was by a subway under the G.C. line. The line, promoted by the Denaby and Cadeby Colliery Company, was operated by the Hull and Barnsley Railway and connected at Wrangbrook with its main line between Cudworth, near Barnsley, and Hull. The station was a wooden structure and its facilities included a locomotive shed to house the branch tank locomotive. This was destroyed by fire. Originally there was no connection with the M.S.& L. R. line, this was not put in place until Great Central days, opening on 13 July 1908 in order for that company to reach Brodsworth Colliery. The next station northwards was Sprotborough (H&B) railway halt. The station closed on 2 February 1903 when passenger services were withdrawn.

Mexborough is a town in the City of Doncaster in South Yorkshire, England. Situated between Manvers and Denaby Main, it lies on the River Don close to where it joins the River Dearne, and the A6023 road runs through the town. It is contiguous with the town of Swinton which is directly to the southwest immediately across the railway and Conisbrough to the east. Historically part of the West Riding of Yorkshire, Mexborough has a population of 14,750, increasing to a ward population of 15,244 at the 2011 Census.

The River Dearne South Yorkshire, England flows roughly east for more than 30 kilometres (19 mi), from its source just inside West Yorkshire. It flows through Denby Dale, Clayton West, Darton, Barnsley, Darfield, Wath upon Dearne, Bolton on Dearne, Adwick upon Dearne and Mexborough to its confluence with the River Don at Denaby Main. Its main tributary is the River Dove, which joins it at Darfield. The river was one of those affected by the 2007 United Kingdom floods. The course of the river is accessible to walkers as the Dearne Way, a long distance footpath from Dearne Head to the river's junction with the Don. Places of interest along the Dearne include the Yorkshire Sculpture Park at West Bretton, and Monk Bretton Priory. The Dearne Valley below Barnsley is a regeneration area. The river has been subject to channel engineering to ease the problem of flooding. A new channel was constructed near its mouth in the 1950s, as the old route had been affected by mining subsidence. Washlands, which can be progressively flooded as water levels rise, were constructed in the 1960s and 1970s. A flood relief channel and a regulator to restrict the flow was built at Bolton upon Dearne. During the 2007 United Kingdom floods, the washlands filled to capacity but the regulator could not be operated as it had been vandalised. Industrialisation caused the river and the Dearne and Dove Canal, to become grossly polluted in the early nineteenth century and fish populations died. The West Riding River Board tried to address the problems in 1896 with limited success and much of the river remained dead until the 1980s, when industrial effluents were removed before they were discharged and improvements were made to sewage treatment. Despite setbacks, fish populations had been partially reinstated by the early 1990s. Channel engineering was carried out at Denaby in the 1990s, to re-introduce bends, deep pools and shallow gravel riffles, to assist fish spawning. In June 2015, salmon were reported in the river for the first time in 150 years.

Montagu Hospital is in Mexborough, a district of Doncaster, in South Yorkshire, England. It is managed by the Doncaster and Bassetlaw Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, which also includes Bassetlaw District General Hospital and the Doncaster Royal Infirmary.

Conanby is a housing estate and suburb of Conisbrough in the Metropolitan Borough of Doncaster, South Yorkshire, England. It lies north of Old Road in Conisbrough on the border with the civil parish of Denaby. Built between 1923 and 1926, the estate consisted of about 400 houses for the families of miners who worked at the Denaby collieries. It had a warm water supply from a central boiler house, which was a novelty at that time. Electricity was originally supplied from Cadeby Main Colliery.

The Old Market Hall is a pub in Mexborough, a town in South Yorkshire, in England, which formerly served as a market and town hall. In the 1870s, the Mexborough Local Board of Health was offered land to construct a covered market. It was undecided until Joel Kirby offered to manage the market; it did not take up his offer, but he did conduct the opening ceremony, in July 1880. The design of the building was based on the Norfolk Market Hall in Sheffield, but on a smaller scale. It comprised a main hall 93 feet (28 m) by 57 feet (17 m), with twenty shops lining the outside: ten for general butchers, and ten for pork butchers and other grocers. In the centre were 18 stalls, and there were four further stands at the north end. It had a glazed roof, 20 feet (6.1 m) high at its peak. There were entrances on all sides, that from the west up a flight of steps. There was a cellar underneath, used for storage for the weighman's office, and at the north end were a suite of offices for the local board, with a meeting room above, having a capacity of 200 people. The market was a success, and in 1927 it was stated that it "has had much to do with the prosperity of the town as any other single factor". Meanwhile, Mexborough Urban District Council, which was successor to the local board of health, established its own offices in Adwick Road. In 1974, the market moved to a new building, and the entire structure was later converted into a pub, now operated by Wetherspoons.
