    Everywhere has it's shitty areas but i defy anyone to come over this side of the motorway (Silkstone, Dodworth, Cawthorne etc) and tell me it is a shithole when it clearly isn't.

    What about Cheese Bottom; that sounds a bit dodgy?

    You’ve missed Elsecar heritage and Percy Turners.

    I did get Elsecar in in a reply so don't worry I haven't missed it. I must confess though when I tried one I wasn't overly impressed with a Percy turner's pork pie. I know, I know, I'm a monster.

    And what’s wrong with Darton or Mapp. I moved here on the border of the two. Just over a year ago. Settled in nicely, and nice little pub tour of both. :)

    I’ve no idea. I just found it amusing when I saw the article after reading this thread.

    No idea, everything was removed before we were handed the site. We did have the former Midland Bank(now Wetherspoons) as our site offices.

    That area between Birdwell, Tankersley, Hoyland Common and Blacker Hill. I struggle to remember what was there before, it's all roundabouts, link roads, monolithic warehouses or compacted ground. Our very own little piece of hell on earth. One giant shed to bind us all.

    Here’s the before and after to aid your memory. Think of all of those jobs though, in that massive automated warehouse. But don’t think of all the pollution the hundreds of lorry’s a day will make…. It’s not as if it’s right next to a primary school and old folks home either…

    I've lived all over the UK ( I know it's subjective) but their are many places which I would call a 5hithole before Barnsley, if the country had a arse crack then where I live now would be it.( IMO) The best placed I have lived is Colchester
