Welcome to the Mexborough and District Heritage Society website. Our aim is to record and preserve details of the area's rich past - the buildings, the way of life and more importantly the people who worked so hard to create a thriving community.

There are news stories which relate to our work and the town's past; details of our meetings, and publications for sale.
The society is committed to keeping a record of the past for future generations, and we hope you enjoy a glimpse into the lives of people who contributed to our community through the years.
