This summer two historical displays will rock Clifton Park Museum.
Visitors to the Museum can have a great day out enjoying the new Rotherham Rocks and Prehistoric Habitats displays.
The “Rotherham Rocks” display explores the rocks and minerals found in Britain. Find out more about the rocks beneath our feet in Rotherham, discover the meaning of birthstones, or just admire the beauty of our gems and minerals.
The “Prehistoric Habitats” display features various exhibits from Rotherham’s early history. Discover the animals that inhabited the local area in the different periods of the Stone Age, from snowy owls, which lived in Rotherham when it was an arctic wilderness 12,000 years ago, to the red foxes found around our towns and villages.
Cllr Taiba Yasseen, Rotherham Council’s Cabinet Member for Neighbourhood Working and Cultural Services, said: “The new summer displays at Clifton Park Museum have lots of interesting exhibits from sparkling gems and precious rocks to wonderful prehistoric wildlife.
“The display items will capture the imagination of young and old alike and provides a perfect family day out. We encourage visitors to come along to the Museum and find out more about our historic past.”
Clifton Park Museum has something for everyone and entry to see the displays is free.

- wathupondearne Latest news in Yorkshire: January 24, 2019 11:28:24 AM Scotland’s former First Minister Alex Salmond has been arrested by police and charged, with a report sent to the procurator fiscal. He is due to appear in court in Edinburgh later today. Sky News are reporting that proceedings are now live under the Contempt of Court Act. Police did not say what Salmond, who served as first minister from 2007 to 2014, is charged with. Two people have made harassment complaints against the SNP grandee but he denies them and took successful legal action against the Scottish government over their investigation. Earlier this month a court said the government’s decisions were “procedurally unfair and… tainted with apparent bias”. At the time Salmond said he is “not guilty of any criminality whatsoever.” The party leader resigned following the loss of the Scottish independence referendum but represented Gordon in the House of Commons from 2015 to 2017.
