I'm forced to agree. The distinctive "Normanton Accent" widely attributed to the town is indeed a complete myth! It's not made any better by the many chavs which hang out around the
Woodhouse Estate shops near Sainsburys though. I'm sure that over time have they have developed a completely seperate
388:
The mention of a distinctive "Normanton accent" is absolute nonsense. As a current resident of
Normanton, who grew up, attended school, worked and lived in the area for many years (as well as having lived elsewhere in the UK), and also having family connections in the area dating back to the 1800's,

Perhaps a little outdated yes but only if the discussion was concerning mortgages. it costs a fortune wherever you live nowadays although I suspect that in comparison to places such as Sandal or Durkar then
Normanton does indeed offer pretty cheap housing for it's ideal location. AH Friday 8 June
407:
The claim that the mining strike in 1984/85 forced the closure of St John's
Colliery is plainly wrong, so I have removed it. My Grandfather worked there, and I recall that it closed in the mid 1970's. There were no coal mines still in production in Normanton at the time of the strike.
428:
It did close in 1985 as it was me that wrote about 70% of the entire page but someone apparently disagreed with me and replaced it with erroneous information. Thanks for rectifying it and yes I agree... More research needed before posting please people: AH Fri 8 June 2007.
441:, South Wales that did close that year, so that is where you might have become confused. Savile Colliery did close in 1985, but of course that is in Mickletown, so should not be mentioned in this article. There is a definitive list of pit closures in 1985 here
485:
Its out of date. it says Normy is best 4 its 'cheap housing'. It costs a fortune just 4 a Mine workers style house (them houses in altofts that coal and train workers used to live in apparently) I should know i live in Normy!
502:
Considering how bare the article is, I plan on getting some original photographs of the church, the
Newland Estate and the old brickworks when the weather picks up a bit. Overcast, drizzly images aren't that cracking.
389:
I can honestly say that there is no distinctive "Normanton accent" and that I would find it impossible to differentiate a person from say, Wakefield, Pontefract or
Castleford from a person originating in Normanton.
580:
570:
624:
418:
It's odd that it said that. Last time that I looked at this page, it said that Savile closed in 1985, which is correct. Someone must have altered it without doing their research first.

I am trying to find out a exact date for St John's, but I still believe it was sometime between 1973 and 1976. "More research needed..." yes I agree!
