DEMOLITION on a dominant feature of Barnsley’s skyline for 40 years will begin on Monday with a bang.
Central Offices - the multicoloured window building next to the market - will be at the mercy of a 160-tonne long reach excavating machine which will take the building apart - it’s expected to take eight weeks.

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."
