    Welland is one of the places you get both on one road. The top part is awful, but the other end is nice.

    It's an example of a ***** oil.

    Wentworth is far and away the nicest place in the area, though technically under Rotherham MBC now. Just don't move next to me, I'm a nightmare. I should be on Welland cres.

    So where do you think they should build to house the growing population ?
    Anywhere that is not in your eye line ?

    The second one is in a decent area. My aunt lived near there. The first one is not too either. It looks a bit small for a 3 bed semi, bedrooms especially.

    Hey Jamdrop, c'mon girl it's game day. For the next 3 hours the best place to live is Oakwell.

    Me too, although only from Chapeltown so at least I didn't have to pass the sty every day. Highly recommend it so far, convenient, good transport links, house prices reasonable and the trans-pennine trail on your doorstep. Plus the neighbours aren't all fowls and blunts...

    As has been said earlier, Manvers is nice as is Wath in general, not Barnsley I know but only 10 minutes from town or M1 so maybe worth a look JD...You may be lucky on the jobs front at schools in the area too.
