  • Barnsley Rail Vision 2018 to 2033
    Barnsley Rail Vision 2018 to 2033 Getting Barnsley on Track Key Messages 1 Barnsley Rail Vision Getting Barnsley on Track Foreword The 1980’s and earlier rail rationalisations were particularly savage in disconnecting Barnsley Dearne Valley and the former coalfield communities of South East Wakefield and the ‘Five towns’ from the direct inter-city and inter-regional rail network. This had the further consequence of those communities being marginalised by subsequent rail investment. Today Barnsley Dearne Valley passengers experience poor rolling stock deployed on routes with low line-speeds and journey times that compare poorly against car travel. The Barnsley Rail Vision is welcomed as setting out a strategy for re- connecting Barnsley and its neighbouring Wakefield and Kirklees communities more directly to inter-city and inter-regional rail services. Delivering the vision will enable the Barnsley Dearne Valley economy – 10th most populous built up area in the Northern Powerhouse – deliver its full potential to both Sheffield and Leeds City Regions and the Sheffield- Barnsley-Wakefield-Leeds growth corridor. We look forward to promoting to key stakeholders full awareness of the rail vision and its importance to the national and sub-national economy and urging them to ensure inclusion of its aspirations in their own infrastructure and operational investment strategies. In particular HS2, Northern Powerhouse Rail, Network Rail and inter- city/inter-regional franchise investment strategies must provide excellent, high quality services linking Barnsley Dearne Valley and its Wakefield and Kirklees neighbouring communities and into the national high speed networks. Dan Jarvis MBE MP, Mayor of the Sheffield City Region Barnsley, its Dearne Valley and western rural communities all have a place in the Barnsley Rail Vision.

  • Goldthorpe and Bolton Upon Dearne Expansion
    South Yorkshire Historic Environment Characterisation Project Barnsley Character Zone Descriptions Planned Industrial Settlements Areas within this Zone ‘Goldthorpe and Bolton Upon Dearne Expansion’, ‘Royston Miners Housing’, ‘Shafton Miners Housing’, ‘Brierley Colliery Housing’, ‘Carlton Miners Housing’, ‘Cudworth Miners Housing’, ‘Grimethorpe’, ‘Great Houghton Colliery Housing’, ‘Thurnscoe Colliery Village’, ‘Staincross Planned Colliery Housing’, ‘Middlecliff’, ‘Darton and Kexbrough Miners Housing’, ‘Penistone Industrial Expansion’, ‘Dodworth Colliery Housing’, ‘Planned Wombwell’, ‘Hoyland, Jump and Elsecar Planned Expansion’, ‘Darfield Planned Housing’, ‘Bolton Upon Dearne Miners Housing’, ‘Stairfoot Planned Housing’ Summary of Dominant Character As the coal seams are near to the surface in the west of the district they could be utilised from an early date and documentary evidence puts coal mining back as far as the medieval period. However, it wasn’t until between 1550 and 1700 that the industry expanded (Hill 2001, 54). These early mines were shallow, relatively small scale, short-lived operations because there were few transport links beyond local markets. These mines left few traces on the landscape and many did not survive long enough to be marked on the 1850s Ordnance Survey maps. This style of mining continued into the early 19 th century but the coming of railways in the mid 19 th and 20 th century and the building of the canals facilitated greater expansion. The greatest density of coal seams in the South Yorkshire coalfield was along the centre of the coal measures running through the east of Barnsley. This meant that although these seams had been worked for half a century longer than the concealed coal measures east of Barnsley there were similar reserves remaining (ibid, 14).
