Very excited to visit the new @jejamescycles shop on Eldon Street today. The former YMCA building has been completely transformed with support from the #HSHAZ scheme and a lot of hard work from the new owners and is now open to the public. Well worth a visit! 🚲 #BarnsleyIsBrill

Thomas Newcomen’s (1664-1729) engine (1712) was adopted at many coal mines but only one survives on its original site @DiscoverElsecar . An iron monger and Baptist preacher, he is remembered via many street names including at Doncaster, Hoyland, Hull and London. @HistoryJT

My interest in @DiscoverElsecar began in late 60s when I was a student. In early 1970s I tutored local history classes in Barnsley for WEA and Sheffield University. Summer excursions included tours of Newcomen engine, permission granted by NCB. Always remember/
