The Town of Rotherham is located in South Yorkshire between Doncaster and the City of Sheffield and is famous for the mining of Iron and Coal during the Industrial Revolution. In 2007, the area witnessed the start of an urban regeneration project known as the "Rotherham Renaissance". The project aimed at creating a vibrant town centre and included apartments, shops, outdoor cafés, and a new theatre.

Today, Rotherham is regarded as being amongst the leaders of Manufacturing in the UK, as well as being home to many cultural attractions, such as; The Magna Science Adventure Centre, The Civic Theatre and Clifton Park. The Thomas Rotherham College and Rotherham College for Arts & Technology also attract many local students pursuing Higher Education in the area.
