Locke Park is a Grade II listed Victorian park, a gift to the people of Barnsley by Phoebe Locke, the widow of renowned railway engineer Joseph Locke in 1862. The tower was built in 1875-7 as a memorial to Phoebe and the viewing platform, said to be the highest point in Barnsley, provides extensive views over Yorkshire and Derbyshire.
