abstract:The villages of North Anston and South Anston are the principal constituents of the civil parish of North and South Anston, in the Metropolitan Borough of Rotherham in South Yorkshire, England. The area is generally known simply as Anston, although the Post Office now officially recognises South Anston in its own right (this change occurred due to postal confusion with nearby Aston and also because of petitions of local residents).
Work will also begin in the next year on flood defences at Anston Brook in Rotherham and Brook Dike in Wath upon Dearne, as well as two flood storage schemes in Darfield, Barnsley.
