WORLD-RENOWNED director Ken Loach will return to Barnsley next week to unveil a blue plaque in Brian Glover’s memory on the 25th anniversary of his death.
The group behind the project originally wanted the tribute to be placed outside the Civic Hall, as it was the place where Brian appeared as a professional wrestler.
However it will now be placed outside the Chennells Bar on Wellington Street, as it was there that Brian was filmed presenting a documentary in the 1970s eulogising his beloved town.
The unveiling will take place on Thursday - with the celebration kicking off in Peel Square at 11.30am.
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."
