Harworth is a town that falls under the jurisdiction of Bassetlaw District Council, but has a Doncaster postcode, giving it a peculiar identity. Some people in the town consider themselves to be Yorkshire folk, even though Harworth is widely considered to be part of Nottinghamshire.
Residents told Yorkshire Live they feel better connected to South Yorkshire and often choose to shop in that direction, rather than heading south and further into Nottinghamshire. Others said they feel part of both counties, while some admitted they had no interest in the debate.
When residents were asked if the area was dealing with an 'identity crisis', mixed views were shared. Mary Keir said she has always been "Yorkshire and proud". She said: "I always thought it was a bit weird. There is a border and we have a Doncaster postcode but we're part of Nottinghamshire - it's just a bit strange.
