Here are some retro photos for community stories of the past across the Worksop area.

All photos were taken between 2000 and 2009.

A wedding that almost didn't happen due to severe snowfall in Worksop. Heidi Kent and Alex Burrett married at St Luke's Church, Shireoaks, with the help of local drivers who donated their 4x4 cars to get them to the church on time.
