COMMUNITY
Village of the Year
Regional Winner
Silkstone and Silkstone Common won the Yorkshire Area 'Village of the Year' competition in 2000. As usual the community got together to put on a great display for the judges. Although it involved a lot of hard work, everybody agreed that it was well worth the effort.
The villages went on to achieve a place in the national finals.
