Throapham is a hamlet in the Metropolitan Borough of Rotherham in South Yorkshire, England. Throapham was historically a township in the ancient parish of St John's in the West Riding of Yorkshire. St John's parish church, a Grade I listed building, was in the neighbouring parish-town of St John's, a very small place, and the two places formed a single township known as St Johns with Throapham. In 1866 St Johns with Throapham became a civil parish, as did Letwell, the other township in the ancient parish. In 1954 the civil parish of St Johns with Throapham was abolished and merged with the civil parish of Dinnington to form the new civil parish of Dinnington St John's.In 1974 Throapham was transferred to the new county of South Yorkshire.

Hooton Levitt (sometimes spelled Hooton Levett) is a village and civil parish in the Metropolitan Borough of Rotherham in South Yorkshire, England; one of four villages in the county that carry the name of Hooton, meaning 'farmstead on a spur of land'. It has a population of 110, increasing to 132 at the 2011 Census.Hooton Levitt (or Levett) carries the manorial affix of the de Livet family, an ancient Norman family that gained control of the manor in the 12th century after marriage with the granddaughter of Richard FitzTurgis (later 'de Wickersley'), lord of the manors of Hooton and Wickersley and co-founder of nearby Roche Abbey. It is likely that the Levetts of Yorkshire, who gave their surname to the village of Hooton, originated in Sussex, where the family had initially held land and where their holdings were in the area of Sussex controlled by the Earls Warenne, among the most powerful of the Norman nobility, who held an immense baronial holding in Yorkshire stretching to Lancashire and Cheshire. William de Livet was a witness for a deed of about 1200 in which William de Warenne, 5th Earl of Surrey, confirmed a grant to Kirklees Nunnery by Reyner le Fleming, lord of the manor of Clifton.Samuel Lewis describes Hooton Levett in his 1848 A Topographical Dictionary of England as "a township, in the parish of Maltby, union of Rotherham, S. division of the wapentake of Strafforth and Tickhill, W. riding of York, 5¼ miles (W. S. W.) from Tickhill; containing 76 inhabitants. It derives the affix to its name from the family of Levett, who held lands here, up to about the time of Henry V. The township comprises by computation 470 acres; the soil is favourable, and the scenery pleasing."

Dinnington Main Colliery was a coal mine situated in the village of Dinnington, near Rotherham, South Yorkshire, England. Until the coming of the colliery Dinnington was a mainly agricultural village with a small amount of quarrying in the area.In 1899 preparations were being made by the Sheffield Coal Company to sink a new colliery at Dinnington. The company did not have the resources to complete the work and entered into a partnership with the Sheepbridge Coal and Iron Co and this joint company, the Dinnington Main Colliery Company, came into being in 1900. The colliery commenced sinking in 1902 and reached the Barnsley seam of coal in the summer of 1904. The first coal was drawn to the surface the following year which is also when the mine gained its second shaft. Rail connection for the colliery was eventually made by the South Yorkshire Joint Railway (SYJR) when its line opened in January 1909. The SYJR was a five way joint line with connections to ports and towns in the area and beyond. At the time of the 1946 nationalisation of the coal industry the colliery was in the hands of Amalgamated Denaby Collieries, based at Denaby Main, near Doncaster. Following nationalisation the colliery became part of the National Coal Board. The colliery stopped production in October 1991, and was closed in 1992 with the loss of over 1,000 jobs. At the start of the 21st century, the former colliery site was subject to one of the largest former coal mine reclamation schemes that Yorkshire had seen. Johnston Press, a regional publisher and printer, sited a £60 million printing press on the site in 2006.Nearby St Leonard's Church in Dinnington, has a mining memorial commemorating the 74 miners who died whilst working at Dinnington Main, though the eventual tally of the dead is disputed by some researchers.
