BARNSLEY Main Heritage Group received a visit from MP Dan Jarvis last Friday.
Sarah Dewey, a volunteer at the group, told the Chronicle they were able to showcase some of their latest projects and discuss potential avenues for future schemes with the Barnsley Central MP.
“We currently have two projects,” she said.
“We are creating a miners’ garden as part of research on phytomining with Brunel University which is exploring whether plants can be used to clean contaminated soil.
“We are also working on a Heritage Lottery-funded project with local historian, Joshua Daniels, to create a digital legacy, including a documentary and group website.”
The heritage group are also hosting an open day next Saturday between 11am and 2pm with other local civic and environmental groups attending as well as a tour of the site.
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."
