The Barnsley Main Heritage Group aim to promote, for the benefit of the public, the conservation, protection and improvement of the physical and natural environment of Barnsley Main.
Barnsley Main is a rare survivor of South Yorkshire’s rich mining heritage. The buildings stand as a reminder of an industry that powered the Industrial Revolution and shaped the lives of communities.
The site of Barnsley Main was mined for over 170 years under differnet names until final closure in 1991. Today the winding and engine house appear isolated but they were once part of a bustling complex of buildings.
The Barnsley Main Heritage Group (BMHG) was formed in late 2016 with the support of the Dearne Valley Landscape Partnership (DVLP) and the Barnsley Council Central Area Team.
BMHG are working to implement plans produced by the DVLP to protect, preserve and enhance the Barnsley Main buildings and wider site.
The group meet regularly at the Hoyle Mill Inn and anyone is welcome to attend. Please get in touch for more details.
