Business Overview
Hammerton's Funeral Directors have roots at Worsbrough Dale going back over two hundred years. In the early days the business was located on Goose Holes Lane, adjacent to the former Dove and Dearne Canal, near the Boatman's Rest Public House. As well as being the local undertakers, Hammerton’s were also wheelwrights and joiners. Their location near the canal, enabled timber for the joinery business, to be delivered by barge to their workshop, which for many years housed woodworking machinery which was steam driven.
Around the turn of the twentieth century, a generator was obtained to power the woodworking machinery by electricity. In 1907 when Francis Hammerton built a new house for the family, known as The Mount on Station Road (now Autumn House Nursing Home) this became the first house in the area to have electric lighting. By this time the firm was involved with much of the house building in the expanding Worsbrough area and in 1901 were commissioned by local colliery owner Samuel Joshua Cooper to build the Church of St. James on West Street.
