Nature is steadily reclaiming this blue brick turntable pit. the turntable was in use at what used to be Barnsley Junction Sidings which served the adjacent Penistone Steelworks. Very little evidence remains of these extensive sidings, now, which ran on to the Sheffield to Manchester Woodhead railway, although a little poking around in the shrubbery does turn up a few gems like this one.
