Barnsley

Back to the Penistone Line Ale Trail Homepage

Barnsley, located in South Yorkshire transformed from a tiny medieval village into a significant industrial hub. It was first mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1086 and prospered through agriculture and linen production before experiencing a surge in coal mining during the Industrial Revolution. By the 19th century, Barnsley was well-known for its glassmaking and lively markets. The town’s mining background has greatly influenced its culture, but the downturn of coal in the late 20th century brought about economic difficulties.
