59 handheld and aerial photos of Millmoor, former home of Rotherham United.
Millmoor was first used during the 1890s when Rotherham Church Institute played their Sheffield Association League games there, and in 1907 Rotherham County, then of the Midland League took the ground on. Following 4 consecutive league titles leading up to the 1st World War, County were elected to the Football League Second Division and the ground underwent renovation befitting of the clubs new status. In 1925, County merged with Rotherham Town to form Rotherham United and the new club took on Millmoor.
Following promotion to the second tier in 2001, Millmoor became all seated and the construction of a new main stand commenced. However, following a dispute with the land owner and former club owner Ken Booth, the work which was scheduled to be completed in 2006 was never finished and, in 2008, the club decamped to the Don Valley Stadium in Sheffield whilst their new ground,
The New York Stadium 500 metres to the south-east of Millmoor and visible in some of the aerial photos accompanying this history, was built.
The ground is now used by local amateur and junior teams.
The final capacity of the ground was 8,300 and the record attendance of 25,170 was set when local rivals Sheffield United visited for a Second Division match on 13 December 1952.
