In the Middle Ages, much of the area around Rotherham was deer parks owned by local lords, and traditional crafts such as coppicing, charcoal burning, milling and tanning were practised by the community. Coal mining, iron production and glass-making were also local industries and these expanded enormously in the Industrial Revolution; mining from the Barnsley seam began between 1840-1850 and continued to expand to other coal seams in the years following. Safety standards at the time were lacking and many coal mining disasters happened in the area. The largest steelworks was Templeborough, opened in 1916 to satisfy demand in the First World and in operation to 1993. Alongside the industrial growth in Rotherham, civic building expanded, with the first public library opening in 1728.Illustrated throughout, this accessible historical portrait of the transformation that Rotherham has undergone through the ages will be of great interest to residents, visitors and all those with links to the town.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":49742353629457,"sku":"NGR9781398114951","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53182550180113,"sku":"GOR014794622","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1398114952.jpg?v=1763220529"},{"product_id":"match-these-bones-a-dinosaur-memory-game-video-game-9781786277398","title":"Match These Bones","description":"Match the dinosaurs with their skeletons in the latest in our best-selling range of memory games. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eMatch these Bones\u003c\/i\u003e, reunite the dinosaurs with their skeletons, learning about your favorite species and how they were discovered.

Franz Delitzsch called it the most obscure book in the Bible (Commentary on the Old Testament). Matthew Henry called it a parable. Though it is called the song of Solomon, the shepherd and the Shulamite woman do most of the talking. It may be said to be the enigma of the Old Testament, as the Apocalypse is of the New (Barnes Notes). Nowhere in Scripture does the unspiritual mind tread upon ground so mysterious and incomprehensible as in this book, while the saintliest men and women of the ages have found it a source of pure and exquisite delight (Scofield Study Bible). DIFICULT TO INTERPRET The Song of Solomon is also considered by many to be the most controversial book in the Bible. The Jews did not allow a young man to read the Song of Solomon until he was at least thirty years old. Controversy does not center over its inspiration (it has been included in the Jewish Bible from very early times), but rather over its interpretation. Unregenerate scholars have attacked the book as erotic, sensual, and even immoral. We will not waste time refuting the writings of unbelieving critics. Spirit-filled Christians find tremendous blessing in studying the Song of Solomon. That the love of the divine Bridegroom should follow all the analogies of the marriage relation seems evil only to minds so ascetic that marital desire itself seems to them unholy (Scofield Study Bible).","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51010379383057,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51010382627089,"sku":"NIN9780982493144","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52486195052817,"sku":"NLS9780982493144","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0982493142.jpg?v=1750917107"},{"product_id":"a-z-of-rotherham-book-james-barker-9781398122253","title":"A-Z of Rotherham","description":"Medieval Rotherham was a prosperous market town in the West Riding of Yorkshire with a large minster and a theological college. In later centuries its traditional industries of flour making and glassmaking were supplemented by coal mining and iron and steel manufacturing, its continuing wealth and importance shown by the construction of Wentworth Woodhouse mansion and Boston Castle. In recent decades the decline of these industries has seen Rotherham attract new industries, although the town was badly affected by flooding in 2007.   In A–Z of Rotherham local author James Barker reveals the history behind the town, its streets and buildings, industries and the people connected with it. Alongside the famous historical associations, he includes some unusual characters, tucked-away places and lesser-known events. Readers will discover tales of famous residents such as the Chuckle Brothers and Jive Bunny and the Mastermixers, its twinned towns such as Saint-Quentin in France, the Roman fort at Templeborough, and the granting of the freedom of the borough to the Yorkshire Regiment, among many other fascinating facts in this A–Z tour. It is fully illustrated with photography and will appeal to all those with an interest in this historic Yorkshire town.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51628607930641,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":51628608160017,"sku":"NGR9781398122253","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1398122254.jpg?v=1758967013"},{"product_id":"drama-recorded-book-james-barker-9789353707606","title":"The drama recorded","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52522653286673,"sku":"NLS9789353707606","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9789353707606.jpg?v=1760578615"},{"product_id":"royal-robe-book-james-barker-9783337225810","title":"The Royal Robe","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52591472935185,"sku":"NLS9783337225810","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52761118605585,"sku":"NIN9783337225810","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9783337225810.jpg?v=1761064034"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/de-ch\/collections\/autor-buecher-von-james-barker.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
