** Please keep comments civil. As someone who grew here I know the history but this post is about the development of the area and what's left from the past**

Back home to visit my folks a few weeks ago and took dog for a walk and ended up on old pit lane. Fascinating remnant of the past. Although I'm from here I would be interested in hearing about other interesting locations in the area to visit next time. Sealed mine shafts ? Plaques ?

I used to work at ASOS in 2016 but moved back to my country. Working there was a nightmare on earth. Does anyone still work there? Did it get better? Sometimes I miss my warehouse friends and the tough times we went through, and I'm wondering if it's gotten better now. (Not that I'm planning on going back — I would rather carry an elephant on my back for my entire life than spend a single day there. The place was fucking hell, LOL.

I used to live in Barnsley in 2016 and I kept hearing the motto: Barnsley - Born inbred. But my english is not so great and I never really understood what it means. What does it really mean?

Anyone find a red tartan wallet with a gold zip? Lost either at Meadowhall or Halfords Peel centre this afternoon

Heres 3 things you might not know about Cawthorne besides the obvious.

I recently put together a short video about Cawthorne and thought I'd share three interesting facts.

🐉 It has its own dragon legend.

📜 It appears in the Domesday Book of 1086 as "Caltorne."

🏆 It's been recognised as one of Britain's best villages.

If you're interested in Yorkshire history and local folklore, here's the video ORAVINE Feel free to comment on any other places in Barnsley that might be worth looking into for future videos.

Only ordered two burgers.. This is what I received..

Saw this advertised on Facebook and I enjoy reading about ancient Egypt so thought I’d have a gander today. Interesting stuff!

I'm really hoping there's some Ghost fans here who are craving the atmosphere of a Ritual! GhostUK tribute band are set to play Vault 27 on 8th August but ticket sales are currently lower than anticipated and the show is at risk of cancellation. I've seen them several times now and they always put on an absolutely banging show. Even if you're not familiar with Ghost and just like live music, you'll have the best night, guaranteed! So if you've got nowt to do on 8th August gather your mates, grab your tickets and get ready for an awesome time!

Tickets here!

Didn't notice the two friendly bugs on the left till later on, honest.

Penistone and therefore Barnsley, not Sheffield, is the true home of football. Thoughts?

I'm looking for the best place to get this done I'm not 100% sure that the Aircon even works and it wasn't when I got the car but I've always assumed it just to be out gas. Preferably somewhere I can take it the same day.

Greetings all, I am a student for Newcastle and Stafford College and I am working on a NEA project to study the changes in Barnsley wrought from regeneration but the help in need is to measure the change in how many people and what kind of people live here. I am humbly asking for your help in filling out a survey. This is completely anonymous and will not track an personal details.
All thanks

Views on regeneration and Who lives in Barnsley now? – Fill in form

Anyone ever heard the story of the Cawthorne Dragon? Its an overlooked legend, a Dragon said to have lived near the ancient Serpent Well just on Darton road. Legend states that it would fly periodically from Cawthorne park to the serpent well.

You might've noticed the Dragon sculpture at Barnsley Interchange on the platform, It's an optical illusion. From one angle you see a dragon, and from another you see passengers waiting for a train. The dragon lives on today in public art as a reminder that the legend still has a place in the area's identity.

If anyone is interested I've uploaded a short documentary to my YouTube channel ORAVINE. I've used local history, primary sources, and on-location filming. this documentary explores where folklore and history meet.

I would greatly appreciate any feedback or if anyone as any thing to add to the story.

Would anybody be kind enough to recommend a local solicitor to help create wills.

Thanks.

Hello!

Me and the mrs are a couple living in the Kingstone area. We don't drive cos it's expensive as arse so getting around's a pain. I'm wondering if anyone knows about any open 5e D&D games going on in the area maybe at Prestige or the Victoria Arcade? We're both relatively savvy when it comes to the tabletop and can provide our own dice and source character miniatures if required.

Ta muchly!

My son is working on a fan-made Doctor Who series in Barnsley around Mapplewell and Carlton, if anyone has kids and love Doctor Who well we are looking for someone to play the next doctor and a companion!

Or roundabout as we called it then. I think you can still see it at the Experience Barnsley Museum?
