A NEW sign to help railway users learn about the history and the wildlife of the area has been unveiled at Elsecar’s station.
The Dearne Valley Landscape Partnership has installed new signs at railway stations across Barnsley including Elsecar, Bolton-upon-Dearne, Wombwell, Thurnscoe and Goldthorpe.
They promotes nearby visitor attractions including Thurnscoe Memorial Park, RSPB Old Moor, Elsecar Heritage Centre and Conisbrough Mill.
A spokesman said: “Funding from National Lottery Heritage Fund has made the creation and installation of these signs possible and we hope they’re informative to those who pass by.”
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."
