A little history
A coal mining town whose pits closed in the 1980s and 90s. The Miners' Strike of 1984-85 was felt most acutely here. Barnsley has rebuilt with cultural investment — the new Civic is exceptional.
The Barnsley Market is one of Yorkshire's finest. The Civic for excellent arts programming. Elsecar Heritage Centre for industrial history. The Barnsley Chop at a proper pub.
