A PROUD nod to Worsbrough's industrious past has been unveiled.

The Worsbrough Heritage Memorial stands in the heart of the Dove Valley at the corner of Park Road and West Street at Worsbrough Bridge.It has been created in honour of the engineering, mining, brick and glass work industries which once thrived in the area.

The memorial features half of a pit gear wheel, which is the other half to one used in a memorial at Dodworth, and a glass blower and miner atop a plinth made of 'Staffordshire Blue' engineering bricks.

It is the result of a project led by the Worsbrough Industrial and Social History and secretary Ian Paisley, 64, said the group is very pleased with it.
