    I want to know more about Sod Hall up Worsb(o)rough Common. Its pretty much bang on the site of my son's first house so the name is still appropriate cos that's what he had at the time :)

    Good finds, thanks. So it was actually built of grass sods which I suppose was the nearest they had to peat or clay in these parts.

    Looks like a good acquisition by Barnsley Archives. Looking forward to seeing them once they've been digitised.
