Best and Worst in Harworth & Bircotes, Nottinghamshire*

Harworth & Bircotes, Nottinghamshire Triumphs and Tragedies

Favourite Building

• its got to be cocky's classic place where all the little kids stand outside off and are cheaky to older people
• The Galway arms cos it had the good sense to be torched and razed to the ground, (A good option for the rest of Harworth)
• The last one i see when i'm leaving.

Demolish It Now Building

• the bryndale should be flattened due to the dubious clientele and that god awful sticky carpet
• bircotes and harowrth school
• COCKIES CLAN
• The library cos nobody in Bircotes or Harwoth can read anyway (we still point at airoplanes)
• Bircotes and harworth community school, please!!!
• The toilet next to the car park across from the chinese...doors that lock are handy sometimes.
• Harworth castle better known as the RJB minning tower which dominates the skyline for miles around

The Best Things

• the car thieves in this village cant drive so generally end up crashin and either maim themselves which means they grow up whilst havin to deal with a disability.bonus
• i dont actually live there i only go to school there but wheneva i go down to bircotes you alwayz have a laugh and just get stoned or pist.
• Was Reg's hairdressers before he retired. He could operate the golden shears hundreds of times a minute but would only snip at your hair once a minute. Collection of shampoo's on top shelf that had some unusual mixes, such as beer & egg, bubble gum and lemon & egg etc etc. (no kidding). Also he had a picture of Harworth pit tower in front of you - god knows why - you couldn't bloody miss it because you could see it through the mirror! Other "interesting" things were: pictures of example haircuts (but from the 50's), best collection of johnny's on shelf (hundreds of them that young boys used to stare at and dream!), crappy music playing from Radio 2 (with regular shipping forecasts!), a local newspaper stack (starting from 1986), the lino round the two main haircutting chairs had wear marks in it where his and his daughter had been constantly walking round over the past 90 years! But the place had charm i suppose, was by far the best hairdressers. Don't know if Reg is still alive, but the place still stands on shop fronts although boarded up since i think 1989??
• fuck all
• the game cock park!!!1
• Harworth Colliery football club. Everyone there is great, it stops a lot of kids turning bad.
• Cheep and easily available Substances (from Draw up to Brown and Crack). The TWOCed car stunt course down grovner road and up west street.
• Cheap alcohol shops!!!!!!!!!!!!
• The Chinese of course.

The Worst Things

• sometimes the car thieves get far enough to hurt the normal people wich also happens a lot.
• all the druggies and drunks.
• BIKER PUSSIES
• if u wanna av a laugh get ur sen down to knobbys house in the wimps but sum shit on his doorstep and light it then watch him stamp on it puttin it out FAT CUNT...........
• the youths who cause trouble at day n nite........ init
• People who complain how stupid people are from the village and then spell aeroplane wrong. I suppose it does back up their case though, maybe if the people weren't drop-outs like him/her the area would be better.
• Some of the Car thieves and crackheadz think they are hard and tend to carry out random beatings sometimes. Car graveyards.
• 1 shed Robbers - always on the prowl on dark evenings 2 Car thieves - you will always find a burnt out shell around the village or woods

The Knowhere Guide started out as a list of places to skateboard in the UK. It is a compilation of (unedited) information and views supplied by users like yourself. It is not a conventional tourist guide!

In most cases, the information in each section has been submitted by more than one contributor (the credits at the bottom of the page list some, but not all, of the contributors) and some of it dates back to the 1970s.

We make no claims as to the accuracy of the information in the Guide - our only purpose is to provide a forum for users to share their knowledge and opinions. So please keep a large bag of salt handy and be prepared to read between the lines!

If you disagree with a comment, or information is out of date, please submit an update! The contributors come from all walks of life, and their opinions are bound to be subjective, so if your view isn't represented, please speak up and contribute to the balance of the Guide. See below in the 'Have Your Say' section for how to add your voice.

If we have helped you out or made you laugh you can buy us a pint.
