Dearne Valley Parkway crossing the Elsecar Branch
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 and a local group is keen to restore the canal. The road opened in 1998, as part of the post-mining regeneration of Barnsley.
