Canklow is a suburb of Rotherham, South Yorkshire, England. Canklow is less than 1 mile (1.6 km) south from Rotherham town centre and approximately 4 miles (6 km) north-east from Sheffield city centre. It forms part of the Boston Castle ward for the Metropolitan Borough of Rotherham.
History
Canklow was created as a post Second World War council housing area.[1] At the southern end of the estate there was once a coal mine, Rotherham Main Colliery. The mine opened in 1890 and closed in 1954.[2]
In 1981 the census revealed a male unemployment rate for Canklow of 42.1%, just under four times the national average.[3]
From 1983 to 1986 Canklow was one of four areas in South Yorkshire where the Probation Service ran a victim/offender mediation project (one of the first of its kind in the country).[4] The area at the time suffered high unemployment, a heroin problem and a suicide rate well above the high average[5]
Landmarks
Education in the local area is provided by Canklow Woods Primary School and Oakwood High School.
There was a church in Canklow, but has now been converted to a sofa shop.
