Barnsley is a large town in South Yorkshire, lying on the River Dearne. It is between junctions 36 and 37 of the M1 motorway and has a railway station served by the Hallam and Penistone Lines. The town itself has a population of around 80,000 and the borough of around 220,000.
College Fields is about 2 miles from junction 37 of the M1. Barnsley is within commuting distance of a number of neighbouring towns and cities including Sheffield (15 miles) Wakefield (10 miles) and Leeds (20 miles)
The town is famous for coal mining, although most of the pits were actually in the surrounding villages, rather than in the town itself. The "Barnsley Main" colliery was in the town, but was fairly small; it closed in 1991. All of the mines in the borough are now closed; Goldthorpe was the last too close in 1994. Wire, linen and glass making were also major industries but only glass making remains with two large companies still operating. It is now moving towards a service economy.
Barnsley is home to a proud tradition of Brass Bands , originally created as social clubs for the mining communities. Grimethorpe Colliery Band - located in a village 5 miles to the east of Barnsley - is perhaps the best brass band in Britain - it rose to fame in the film Brassed Off and is now the "artist in residence" at the Royal College of Music, London. They have performed in Hyde Park during the Last Night of the Proms.
Plans are now in progress to encircle the town with a living wall; a huge abstract sculpture of shapes and fluorescence. Above the town, visible from the M1 will be a huge ring of light, most commonly known as the Halo. There is also a scheme to remodel much of the town's architecture on a "Tuscan Hill Village" theme.
