More about this scene
Barnsley was founded by the monks of St John's Priory, Pontefract, after they had been granted the manor and rights to hold weekly markets and annual fairs. By the early 19th century Barnsley was a flourishing town of around 8000 people. There were a couple of foundries and several coal mines operating, but many still earned a living working with flax or bleaching and weaving linen.
