This photograph was taken from the south side of the A635 looking north towards the site of Barnby Basin (also known as Cawthorne Basin), which was the southern terminal of the Barnsley Canal. The basin, together with the section of the canal from Barugh, became disused about 1902, having once been a busy spot where coal and lime were transferred from horse-drawn waggons, (small rail-bound vehicles) to waiting boats. There was also a public house here, called the 'Jolly Sailor'.
