Swinton’s History and Heritage

Welcome to the Swinton Heritage website. South Yorkshire is a county rich in history and Swinton has generated its share of this. This site is the official history site for both Swinton and its sister village of Kilnhurst. Please explore the site and enjoy the town’s past. Any queries you may have can be emailed to us via the CONTACT US drop down box. Our dedicated researcher Ron James will try to assist you accordingly.

You can set up your own log access in to the Swinton Heritage site which will enable you to download your special photographic pictures of the town, its people and events. We wish to build up a sizeable pictorial library covering all aspects of Swinton life which can be enjoyed by all .

So from us- please enjoy,
Giles Brearley, Councillor Ken Wyatt, Andrew Allen
