There is actually a Roundworld {{wp\|Grimethorpe\|Grimethorpe}}, but it is located in South Yorkshire between Barnsley and Wakefield, on the far side of the Pennines from the conurbation of {{wp\|Greater Manchester\|Greater Manchester}}, where (supposedly) the fictional Grimethorpe is based. It is a former colliery village, which has a {{wp\|Grimethorpe Colliery Band\|brass band}}, formed in 1917 to provide a leisure activity for miners, and the band is notable for being the first brass band to play at {{wp\|The Proms\|the Proms}}. The 1996 film {{wp\|Brassed Off\|Brassed Off}} is a dramatised account of the trials and tribulations of its members following the systematic destruction of the mining industry in the 1980s, and the consequent mass unemployment which blighted a multitude of small colliery towns across Yorkshire, Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire.
