Disused Canal near Valley Way
The Dearne and Dove Canal is all but lost amid the new roads and developments in this area but it can be seen here by a grassy clearing close to the A633.

The route of the Elsecar Branch, Dearne & Dove Canal
Immediately south-west of its junction with the 'main line', but now completely infilled. The canal was built to carry coal from local collieries. It had opened by 1798, at least 30 years before any railway competition. It closed to traffic [due to mining subsidence] in 1928. It was officially closed in 1961. The towpath is well used by walkers and cyclists and a local group is keen to restore the canal.

The Brampton Canal
More properly known as the Elsecar Branch of the Dearne and Dove Canal which linked the River Don Navigation with the Barnsley Canal. The Elsecar branch was built to serve the coal mines and so went past many of them. The majority of the towpath is on the Elsecar Greenway, part of the Trans Pennine Trail. Although no longer navigable much of the canal remains in water and there are plans to restore it.
