Cudworth, South Yorkshire
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Cudworth is a semi-rural village on the outskirts of Barnsley in South Yorkshire, England. Cudworth has a busy village centre surrounded by some housing and green belt countryside. It is roughly 5 miles from Barnsley town centre, via a direct route through Lundwood.
The television presenter Michael Parkinson and the former Sheffield Wednesday and England International footballer David Hirst were born there. The Yorkshire and England cricketer Darren Gough spent some of his childhood in Cudworth.
Cudworth is the home to the Dorothy Hyman stadium, named after the local Olympic sprinter who got silver and bronze medals at the Olympic Games in the 1960's. She also captained the British womans team. Cudworth has no adult football club, but was host to A.F.C. Barnsley, who were a club formed in June 2003 when Barnsley FC were in administration. A.F.C. Barnsley recently stopped playing after it was announced that the financial position at Barnsley FC had made a dramatic improvement (information as at March 2006).
The two main junior football clubs in Cudworth are the Dorothy Hyman West End and Cudworth Tykes JFC.
The main street through Cudworth has shops and take-aways. Much traffic goes through Cudworth, causing calls for plans for a bypass.
