You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 35.175.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪JJMC89‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 05:20, 2 March 2025.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Killamarsh''' is a village<ref>((Cite web |title=Killamarsh Parish Council |url=https://www.killamarsh-pc.gov.uk/ |access-date=2023-01-02 |website=www.killamarsh-pc.gov.uk |language=en-GB))</ref> and [[civil parishes in England|civil parish]] in [[North East Derbyshire]], England, bordering [[Rotherham]] to the north and [[Sheffield]] to the north-west. 

Killamarsh is surrounded by, in a clockwise direction from the north, [[Rother Valley Country Park]], the village of [[Wales, South Yorkshire]], [[Kiveton]], [[Woodall, South Yorkshire|Woodall]], [[Harthill, South Yorkshire|Harthill]], [[Barlborough]], [[Spinkhill]], [[Renishaw, Derbyshire|Renishaw]], [[Eckington, Derbyshire|Eckington]], and the (former Derbyshire) Sheffield suburbs of [[Mosborough (ward)|Oxclose]], [[Mosborough (ward)#Halfway|Halfway]] and [[Mosborough (ward)#Holbrook|Holbrook]].

The name 'Killamarsh' is first attested in the [[Domesday Book]] of 1086, where it appears as ''Chinewoldemaresc''.<ref name = "Domesday">''Domesday Book: A Complete Translation''. London: Penguin, 2003. ((ISBN|0-14-143994-7)) p.753 and 1365</ref> It appears as ''Kinewaldesmers'' in the [[Charter Roll]] for 1249. The name means 'Cynewald's marsh'.<ref>[[Eilert Ekwall]], ''The Concise Oxford Dictionary of English Place-names'', p.275.</ref>

==History==
Domesday records Killamarsh as belonging to Hascoit Musard and being valued at 12 pence.<ref name = "Domesday"/> The Grade II* listed parish church of St Giles was built between the 12th and 15th centuries using sandstone. Additions were made in 1895 by J.&nbsp;M. Brooks in magnesian limestone. The chancel south window is restored 15th-century stained glass, and the chancel east window of 1845 is by [[William Warrington]].<ref>((NHLE|num=1057656|desc=Church of St Giles|access-date=13 July 2021))</ref> A Grade II listed medieval cross stands in the graveyard.<ref>((NHLE|num=1109641|desc=Medieval Cross 10 metres south of St Giles Church|access-date=13 July 2021))</ref> A number of [[public houses]] in Killamarsh are over 300 years old.

==Economy==
The community originally grew from a farming community, self-sufficient in agricultural and dairy produce since the Middle Ages. In the 19th and 20th centuries, Killamarsh became a coal mining village as the burgeoning Sheffield iron industry demanded coal and transport links with Sheffield matured. Coal has been mined in Killamarsh since at least the 15th century, but the first major mining operation opened at Norwood resulting in an almost doubling of the Killamarsh population between 1861 and 1871. The last two "pits", Westthorpe and High Moor, are now gone, casualties of the early 1980s pit closure programme.

The river Rother which flanks Killamarsh had provided power to grain mills since the earliest times and was used by ironmongers and smiths from the late 18th century.<ref>The Iron Men of Penns by John Horsfall</ref> Killamarsh Forge was owned and operated by Webster & Horsfall. They made crucible steel which was cast into ingots. These were then shipped to their Penns Mill plant in Walmley, who drew the special wire. This was used in the core of the second trans-Atlantic telegraph cable laid by the SS ''Great Eastern'' in 1866 as well as other equipment used in the splicing operations.

There is an industrial estate located in the Norwood area north of the town and light industrial units and a business innovation centre to the south on the site of the old Westthorpe Colliery. To the west of Killamarsh is a small animal feed mill, and the factory of Ross and Catherall, a specialist alloys supplier to the aerospace industry.

==Composition and geography==
Killamarsh is situated on the eastern side of the Rother Valley. The centre of Killamarsh can be defined as the junction where Bridge Street meets Sheffield Road, from which point the roads lead to all other areas of the village. 

==Transport==
Killamarsh is close to [[Sheffield]], [[Chesterfield, Derbyshire|Chesterfield]] and [[Rotherham]]. The village is close to junctions 30 ([[Barlborough]]) and 31 ([[Aston, South Yorkshire|Aston]]) of the [[M1 motorway|M1]].

Killamarsh was once served by three railway stations:

*[[Killamarsh West railway station|Killamarsh West]]
*[[Killamarsh Central railway station|Killamarsh Central]]
*[[Upperthorpe and Killamarsh railway station|Upperthorpe and Killamarsh]]

The western side of Killamarsh was originally going to be significantly affected by the new [[High Speed 2|HS2]] route from [[Birmingham]] to [[Leeds]], but following the government's favouring of an alternative route which will run parallel to the [[M1 motorway]], this is no longer likely to be the case.<ref name=addareflikethis>((Cite web|title=New Proposals to Re-Route HS2 in Killamarsh Area|url=https://www.northderbyshireconservatives.org.uk/news/new-proposals-re-route-hs2-killamarsh-area|access-date=2021-07-23|website=North Derbyshire|language=en))</ref>

===Cycling===
Killamarsh has a range of beneficiaries of the Sustrans [[Sustrans#Connect2|Connect2]] project for creating cycle routes.<ref>[http://www.sustransconnect2.org.uk/schemes/project_detail.php?id=101 Killamarsh area]</ref> The project has now drawn to a close with the final erection of two new pedestrian and cycle bridges crossing the River Rother and the railway on the border of North East Derbyshire and Sheffield.

===Chesterfield Canal===
The [[Chesterfield Canal]] passed through the village on its way to [[Kiveton]] via the [[Norwood Tunnel]], which was the joint longest canal tunnel in the UK at the time of its construction.<ref>Richardson, Christine (2009). ''Norwood Tunnel:  Four Centuries of Challenge''. Richlow Histories. ((ISBN|978-0-9552609-6-4)).</ref> The canal fell into disrepair following the collapse of the tunnel in 1907. The remains of the Chesterfield Canal are present but housing has been built on part of the canal's original route, and the undeveloped sections are mostly public footpaths. 

The planned [[Rother Link]] will connect the Chesterfield Canal at Killamarsh, via the [[River Rother, South Yorkshire|River Rother]] through to the [[Sheffield and South Yorkshire Navigation]], thus creating a new cruising ring and encouraging boats to visit the Chesterfield Canal.

===Rother Valley Park===
[[Rother Valley Country Park]] lies to the north of the town. It was created in the early 1980s as part of the restoration works following open cast mining of the area. Originally managed by a joint board of Sheffield MBC, Rotherham MBC, South Yorkshire MCC and Derbyshire CC, the park is now wholly managed by Rotherham.  The scheme created a series of ponds and lakes, with the surrounding area landscaped to form a nature reserve<ref>((cite web|url=http://www.wildlife-photos.me.uk/page5.htm |title=Rother Valley Bird photos|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20100219171114/http://www.wildlife-photos.me.uk/page5.htm |archivedate=19 February 2010 |accessdate= 2 February 2010))</ref> and recreation areas, with facilities for water sports. The [[River Rother, South Yorkshire|River Rother]] flows from the west of town and passes through the centre of the park. [[Gulliver's Valley]], located beside the Rother Valley Park, is a theme park opened in 2020 on the site of a former colliery.<ref>((cite news|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-south-yorkshire-34200100|title=£37m theme park plan for Rotherham Pithouse West colliery site|date=10 September 2015|accessdate=18 October 2021|work=BBC News))</ref><ref>((cite news|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-south-yorkshire-53347442|title=Rotherham Gulliver's Valley Theme park opens|date=11 July 2020|accessdate=18 October 2021|work=BBC News))</ref>
