Site of former Darfield station
View SW, across the site of the station and the disused ex-Midland four-track main line from Sheffield and Rotherham (to left) to Normanton and Leeds (to right). The station was closed 17/6/63, while from 1/1/68 all passenger trains were diverted off the route between Wath Road Junction and Goose Hill Junction (Normanton) owing to colliery subsidences, although freight trains were still worked over it for several more years.

"Prepare to Meet Thy God"
The Lundhill Explosion Memorial in Darfield churchyard. It happened at Lundhill Colliery, Wombwell on February 19th, 1852. One hundred and eighty nine men and boys were killed. At that very time eleven year old Elizabeth Ashton was making "herb beer" at her home nearby. Interviewed by "The Times" in 1928, she remembered going to the pithead with other local women to try to identify the bodies. She said, “They were as black as coal, and it was impossible to tell one from another.”

When wilt thou save the people?
Oh, God of Mercy! when?
The people, Lord, the people !
Not thrones and crowns, but men!
God! save the people! thine they are,
Thy children, as thy angels fair:
Save them from bondage, and despair !
God, save the people !
