- Do not confuse this village with places and people called Haworth
Template:GBthumb Harworth is a village in the county of Nottinghamshire, in the Midlands of England. It is approximately eight miles north of Worksop. The Harworth coal mine employs 500 people. It produces mainly coal for the power stations on the Trent.
The village - once a busy coalmining community - is particularly noteworthy as the home of Tom Simpson (1937-1967), Britain's greatest road racing cyclist - World Champion in 1965. After his tragic death in France, his body was brought back to Nottinghamshire and interred in Harworth's cemetery. A small museum dedicated to his achievements (opened in August 2001) can be found in the Harworth and Bircotes sports and social club.
