C F Booth

C F Booth Ltd is a family-owned scrap metal and recycling business based in Rotherham, South Yorkshire, England.

Obtained in the 1960s, the railway embankment was removed and the ground level access allowed for easier dismantling of redundant diesel and electric locomotives.

[1] In 1989 the company introduced a copper alloy melting division, to service the foundry industry with copper-based ingots for re-melting purposes.

The firm also provides machining services on large billet and slab metal sections, which supply customers in the marine, oil and gas and defence industries.

After the collapse of the ITV Digital deal, and with club debts at £3 million, the family sold the club for a nominal £1 in December 2004 to a group of supporters led by solicitor Peter Ruchniewicz, in returning for gaining ownership of the club's ground at Millmoor (located adjacent to the firm's main scrapyard, the Clarence Metal Works), the Tivoli nightclub in front of it and the Hooton Lodge training ground.

Millmoor is currently unused apart from its car park which has been used by C F Booth as an overspill and storage area for former tube trains awaiting scrapping.
