About Barnsley - show infohide info
Barnsley is a South Yorkshire town on the River Dearne, north of Sheffield. It lies on the M1 route and has a railway station from the Hallam and Penistone lines. Barnsley is first mentioned in the Domesday Book and is described as a combination of two villages, Crevesford and Bernesiai, with a total population of probably not more than two hundred people. The name £Barnsley' is derived from the Anglo-Saxon 'Beorn's lay' (where a 'lay' is a clearing). In 1249, Barnsley was granted a Charter to hold an annual fair and weekly market, and early in its history coal mining began. Although the majority of coal mining was in villages surrounding the town, Barnsley Main colliery was in town, and closed in 1991. All the coal mines in the borough are now closed. Barnsley's coal mining industry was supported by glass blowing, which emerged early in the 17th century. In 1744, William Wilson introduced linen weaving. In 1850, the first railway station was opened in Barnsley, instigated by George and Robert Stevenson and Joseph Locke who was a Barnsley man. Barnsley is home to a proud tradition of Brass Bands, originally created as social clubs for the mining communities.
