Canalside houses in Grantley Close
On the north bank of the Elsecar branch of the Dearne & Dove Canal. 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 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. Although no longer navigable much of the canal remains in water and there are plans to restore it.
