KIDS have been picking up buckets and spades and enjoying Barnsley by the sea.
This week and next week part of the town centre has become a beach as the seaside is brought to the town centre Cheapside.
The idea is to attract more shoppers and visitors and to create a lively buzzing atmosphere.
So tons of clean play sand has been delivered to create a beach on the former open market area next to the pedestrian precinct for people to sit and play on.
** The full story is in the Barnsley Chronicle newspaper, dated July 24 **
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."
