Fantastic photographs. From a Londoner!

Sailor Sid's sweet stall ❤, happy memories of growing up in Barnsley 👍

I've been researching my family history and discovered that my Great grandfather, William Randall, was a photographer in Barnsley so I feel certain that some of these photos around the turn of the 19th century could have been taken by him. I believe he had a shop in Shambles Street. For a short while Iived in a house in Westgate with my grandparents that adjoined the police station behind the Town Hall. If anyone can supply any further information I would be most grateful.

Amazing photographs, times were hard yet people were happy

My grandmother, who I never met, Elsie Sharman born in Worsborough, her brother John Sharman, died 30th September 1918 in the Great War. I visited his grave on the 100th Anniversary of his death! Probably the only time anyone from his family had visited him. On the war memorials in and around Barnsley his name doesn’t appear. I think that is so sad. Bless him.

When in Barnsley always had to go into the no 7 down the stairs 😂

Thanks having only recently found your channel almost makes me feel like a Yorkshire man having been born in wombwell in1957 but leaving before any memories of it at least I can now form a mental picture as I've nothing to show me Thanks again and keep up the good work

I enjoy looking at these photos . Thank you Stuart. Look forward to seeing more.

Absolutely sublime as usual Stuart. Love them. Thank you.

Thank you Stuart. Fantastic as always and it’s great to see The history of the town.

Coming from Barno (A Lundwooder) but living in Sheffield atm, I cant tell you how warm these images make me feel! Making all my Sheffield friends watch this, as they are always taking the piss out of Barnsley, forgetting that it was our hard earned coal that built their city! xx

As a young man I used to think Barnsley Bitter was a great beer until I went abroad. On reflection it tasted like rat puke!

Great old photos 😊 I have a page on Facebook about Oldham's Past

Great photos mate 👍 well done and a merry Christmas to all 🎉

1:58 The Trading Post.

Have you got any with the old bridge inn and cross keys Darfield

Thank you again for the great photos. I always look forward to seeing them.

Great job buddy, remember cudorth baths well, Brrrrr!

I bumped in to an old lass, years ago, she said you should go over Yella watters, I said why's it called yellow watters, she replied, cos, watter's yella..still makes me laugh..Hxx

Where were the Yellow Waters?

Great Houghton, Brooks shop, was brought up on that street- New Street, Sandhill.

That last image! We used to play at the 'Yeller Watters' when I was little.

Seen a lot of these now, and it feels like a time machine watching them. I would love to go back and take a walk around. It's hard to connect modern Barnsley to these images because so much has changed. I was an '80s kid and it seems there was a massive change from 60s - 80s and not for the better, it looks like attitudes changed completely and pride in the areas people lived in went away. The images of Barnsley around the 1960 look a lot smarter than even 1969 where we can see Kes sets and locations. The nostalgia for a place I wasn't even a part of at the time is really amazing, but I can think back to my grandparents and parents who did. Thank you for doing these. They are essential to preserve what was.

Wow i thought the muckstacks was mountains at first glance its amazing to see barnsley asnt changed that much when u look at these pictures most buildings are almost the same ❤

Love this Stuart

Thank you Stuart for the lovely photos .

My dad was manager at john blundell started as a collector worked his way up to manager and then area controller from ealy 1970s to retirement mr A Sharpe

Clean maintained streets.

Always great to watch Stuart 👍

awesome Stuart

Is Park Cottage actually Wombwell Hall?

Fantastic pictures, really brings the old streets to life.

Outstanding. The photo of men returning from WW1!

Stuart, thankyou for all you do, tharra top sort owd warrior 👍 👏

3.26 Royal Mews,looks like a funeral has been taking place, the vehicle on the left is a horse drawn hearse.

Wow - Dorothy Hyman - I remember one time when she came through Cudworth in an open top bus. I was only really small but I remember the crowds & all the noise/cheering as she passed by. Your videos bring back so many memories- thank you.

My 5 times great grandmother was the original owner and landlady of the Pheasant Inn at Ardsley (from the 1830s) - Elizabeth Owram nee Micklethwaite. Thank you for these great photos!

These are lovely to see. It pains me to think how many medieval and Tudor buildings have been swept away in Barnsley. Shambles Street alone, properly cared for and preserved, would rival any street in York.

Excellent as usual. Thank you for all your hard work, Stuart.

Great photos I really look forward to seeing them.

Love these old views, so many memories. Keep up the good work.

Lovely to view them❤

❤❤👍👍😊😊

A1 as usual Stuart

The photo outside the Clarence Hotel, "Amos" sitting on a donkey that belonged to my Grandfather William Bywater who is stood at the donkeys head. A Mr Grice (a relative through marriage) is at the other end. I have this photo at home. It's lovely to see it in colour. On the back of my photo it says that Amos was Barnsley football teams mascot.

Would love some of these photos made into jigsaws.❤
