    Found this great picture just now of what is now Dearne Valley Park looking towards Barnsley Main and Woods glassworks and you can just see the first building on Pontefract Road, I believe it's now an Indian.
    Interesting to see the other railway line in the foreground. This may have been the Hull Barnsley line.

    The train looks like the "old pull and push" that went from Barnsley to Cudworth and return.

    Remember going on that line to Cudworth where we changed for the Train to Walton.
