Live music venue plans for Priory Campus [read more]
WORK to revamp Barnsley town centre has already started - just days after plans were unveiled by the council.
One of the first causalities of the demolition teams has been the Mushroom in Cheapside. Built as an area of sheltered seating, the Mushroom gained something of a reputation in recent years.
Retired glass factory worker John Markey 66, of Brinckman Street said: "I know they have got to improve the town centre but where are people supposed to sit in the meantime?"

We have been at the heart of our community, every week, since 1858. The town and its people have changed dramatically since then but the Chronicle has been a constant.
It’s our belief that news should be available to everyone regardless of their circumstance. But we need a little helping hand to do so.
Production Editor, Ashley Ball, said: "In an ever changing media world, it’s important that news is reported correctly and without any hidden agenda.
Your support allows us to keep holding decision-makers to account and report on everything that happens in the town, good or bad, fairly."
