Five new blue plaques in Barnsley Town Centre

Five new blue plaques will be installed in early September in Barnsley Town Centre. Barnsley Civic Trust has been working with the Eldon Street High Street Heritage Action Zone —which has funded the plaques— to tell some of the stories of Eldon Street.

These include commemorating the work of the man who redesigned the town centre in the 19th century. And celebrating the woman who brought the first department store specifically for women to the town.

Have you seen the one already there? Watch out for more!
