I think you can still see it at the Experience Barnsey Museum?

Looking For Someone With Little Info

Hi everyone.

I’m trying to get in touch with a Nick (possibly Nicholas) Smith.

He would now likely be 45+ and was a lorry driver in the early 2000s. I believe he was originally from the Doncaster area and spent some time lodging in Ipswich during 2003.

If you know someone who matches that description, I’d really appreciate it if you could ask them to send me a private message, or message me yourself. Even if you know more than one Nick Smith please still let me know, anything helps.

It’s regarding something important that I believe he deserves to know.

Thanks very much. 🙏

Fish , Chips and Peas @ Boatmans Rest in Barnsley 🍴🍺

Never have I been disappointed with Boatmans Rest.

Staff are always friendly too.

Lovely little place nestled in the town of Worsborough on outskirts of Barnsley.

Ordered this from specials board earlier in week.

Homemade chips, succulent fish in batter and school dinner style mushy peas 😋

Delicious from first bite to last.

(I have no affiliation to Boatmans Rest. This is just somewhere I like and wanted to share)

Barnsley Armed Forces Day Parade - Our Local MP is Missing!

So, today was armed forces day, and Barnsley had a parade.

I expected our MP for Barnsley North, Dan Jarvis, who is also the UK Defense Secretary, to be present to show his support in his constituency. But no, he was in Aldershot and then Weymouth. Not a sign of him in Barnsley.

I wonder if the fact that Reform booted Labour out of the council, has anything to do with his decision to snub his constituents? His motto of "working tirelessly for Barnsley" means nothing!

Gardener/landscaper willing to issue official receipt.

My parents have a grant for work on their garden. They have had several people round to give quotes but as soon as they say they need a proper receipt they get ghosted. Can anybody recommend someone or a company, thanks.

Visited Milk From The Hills 🥛🐮

I've heard the hype and seen stuff on social media so decided to visit Milk From The Hills this week.

Unfortunately the desert parlour wasn't open as I'd look forward to that. But they looked to be taking a midweek opportunity to do some renovations , Can't blame them for that.

As for the place. It's clearly a place that's heading for bigger things and I enjoyed the novelty of getting locally sourced milk in a variety of flavours from the vending machines

I like the Merch and that they had other 3rd party items on offer such as cheeses and cakes.

I got a strawberry shake and a bottle to bring home to use as a vase later.

I enjoyed the tranquil setting in the midweek sunshine

What are your thoughts ??

Old Market Food Hall

Has anyone got any photos of the old food court in the upstairs of the market hall? Or any little memories?
It was where all the cafes were in little booths next to each other with their seating area behind them.
I remember I used to go as a kid with my Dad to go get a breakfast at one of the stands.

I can’t seem to find any pictures of it online anywhere, I can only find photos of the new one that’s replaced it.

I’m starting to think I just dreamt it up.
It had such an old school vibe, it’s a shame it’s gone

Anyone work at GXO ASOS Barnsley?

I’m starting there soon on the 7pm–3am shift.

Just wanted to know if anyone here works there and what it’s like getting to and from work. I’m trying to figure out the best transport options, and whether there are any car-share groups or people who regularly give lifts to the warehouse. I’d be happy to contribute towards fuel costs/pay for a lift.
Thanks.
