Evidence of Silkstone Waggonway
For fifty to sixty years in the mid-nineteenth century the waggonway facilitated the transport of coal from the Silkstone area to the canal basin at Barnby - two miles north of the village. The coal tubs were pulled along the rails by horses.

Sleepers of the Silkstone waggonway
The narrow gauge waggonway was built in 1809 to carry coal to the Barnby Basin on the Barnsley Canal. It closed in 1872 having lost all its traffic to the railway. These stone sleepers supported cast iron rails. This section is approaching a partial recreation of a passing place on the waggonway. Image
