whiston, south yorkshire

Whiston, South Yorkshire, England. Originally a small rural village between Sheffield and Rotherham, within the Saxon "Shire of Hallun" (Hallamshire), Whiston is now a suburb of Rotherham, close to its border with Sheffield. According to A Dictionary of British Place-Names The name Whiston comes from two Old English words wite and stan - meaning "The whitestone". It is referred to as Witestan,in the Domesday Book of 1086, at which time it was part of the same manor as Handsworth (Handswrde), now a suburb of Sheffield . Even in 1900 Whiston was still a small rural village. It was separated from Rotherham by open countryside. As the century progressed, and particularly after 1945, many fields were built upon and Rotherham expanded to incorporate Whiston.
