Talk on getting good design in our town – Tues 27 November

The Barnsley Civic Trust Talk on Tuesday 27th November will tell us about the work of the independent Design Review Panel set up in Barnsley. It is made up of highly regarded designers, architects, landscape architects and artists and is completely independent of the Council.

Its role is to review the design of schemes referred to it by the Council and to give expert advice as to how they can improved. It has advised on all the major schemes in the town centre.

The presentation promises to be very enlightening and will be given by Tom Lonsdale who chairs the Barnsley Panel and who is a nationally esteemed designer and landscape architect.

Tuesday 27th November, 7.00pm
Masonic Hall, Cockerham Lane (just off Huddersfield Road).

All welcome

What did Joseph Bramah – one of the Best of Barnsley – invent?

Just do a bing image search to see the range of things that Joseph Bramah invented, not forgetting the beer pump. Thanks Doctor Ale for reminding us.

The talk by John Bramah – ‘Bramah – a tradition of engineering’ – at the Cooper Gallery on Monday 19 March at 7pm is coming up soon.  Thanks to the South Yorkshire Industrial History Society and Barnsley Council for arranging the annual Bramah lecture.
