PICK up your buckets and spades and get ready for Barnsley by the sea - for two weeks from July 18 part of the town centre will become a beach as the seaside is brought to near Cheapside.
The idea is to attract more shoppers and visitors into the town and to create a lively atmosphere.
So tons of sand will be delivered into the pedestrian precinct for people to sit and play on.
** The full story is in the Barnsley Chronicle newspaper, dated July 3. **
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."
