Former Worsbrough branch of the Dearne & Dove Canal
The clue is the pub through the trees - called the Boatman's Rest - and confirmed on old maps. The 2.5 mile long Worsbrough section of the Dearne and Dove Canal opened in 1804. It linked Worsbrough to the seaport of Goole. The branch closed for navigation in 1906 and was abandoned in 1961.

River Dove, upstream of Edmunds Road, Worsbrough
The river once lopped northwards here, but was straightened between 1850 and 1880, hence the high retaining walls.

Worsbrough - Community Church
On High Street. The stonework on the east-facing frontage has the following inscriptions "AD 1903" (near the gable-end apex) and "Ebenezer Wesleyan Reform" (half way down). There are also foundation stones (two either side of the doorway) inscribed with "EBENEZER CHAPEL 1854". This suggests that the chapel was built in 1854 and extended upwards in 1903. See http://www.waymarking.com/waymarks/WMDK8M_1854_Ebenezer_Chapel_Worsbrough_Barnsley for more details.
