A drive through Barnsley in 1991 by Dave Cherry 

I left Barnsley in '04, & there's been more changes from then, until when this was uploaded.

Nice to see that massive blue and white H from the old coop building as you went round roundabout, it always reminds me of travelling from my grandads on princess street back to Royston on a Sunday morning in his old Vauxhall cavalier. I always looked out for the big H for some reason

God that brought back some memories, I moved to Barnsley in 1988, my ex mother-in-law used to shop at Leo's every week and we had to register at St George's church for our wedding banns cos my husband lived at Pogmoor. Thank you for this. Can anyone remember the pub at the bottom of the hill before the Alahambra was built, had a right weird name, Gingleboy, I think..

you don't realise what as changed in Barnsley until you watch this.

Absolutely bloody brilliant video,this actually moved me to tears!av not lived in Barnsley 4 many yrs and I remember all of these images! Great memories n thanks 4 posting

Brilliant, As the Town changes even more so through regeneration these videos will become ever more important for our history. Even now being in my early 30s watching back brings back so many memories. I spoke to you (briefly) a few months back in that wonderful historical Barnsley institution that is Mcdonalds haha. you may remember a burly Bearded biker asking if you were Dave Cherry. Anyway, Keep up the good work. I think it's fantastic what you are doing to make sure our history is remembered. Lay of the Big Mac's. Regards, Ian.

Time for another update Dave! 👍🏼

Thanks for that. I'm new to Barnsley and I haven't moved there yet, but I will! It's a lovely town full of character with a good atmosphere.

I remember so much of old barnsley. My parents had a shop on Pontefract road opposite Needhams foundry until the new Road went through and we moved to Sheffield road..It's good to see the old videos, thank you Dave.

Great video Dave, thanks for posting that. Certainly brings back some memories. I'm 44 and remember it well. Cheers!

Thank you souch for posting this video, I use to work in Visions night club at this time, and remember the town just like this, by the way I thing the boarded up shop was record shop either Andy's records or Casa disco can't remember

Not from Barnsley, but this is a great video. Love anywhere that's given the before and after treatment.

Nice job on the video .... I was born in Barnsley in 1956.... Grandparents were from Britannia Street off Sheffield road .... Lived out at Athersley North when it was a nice place before moving back to Park Road opposite the park gates in about 1970. Went to Race common Road school or "Ragged arse Rovers" as we called it back then... then later up to Charter school on Broadway ... .. some good memories' there on the video .... made me feel sad ... Left that part of the world in 1985.

Maybe time for another drive through Dave. Loved this, thank you.

looks so much more different now with the glass works

lol we need the 2022 version now

Great video, thanks for sharing. I only moved to Barnsley in 1996 but recognised some of the old landmarks such as the supermarket that was Leo's, although I think it was a Co-Op in 96. Funny to see that you could drive through Peel Square.

Great video .. very informative

Aww great memories x thanks for vid

Great stuff dave wish ya cud bring them 60 s back as well great days even 80 s & 90 s sad are times changed but know wot past is history & futures a mystery in it

great work fella.

I couldn't see Billy Casper ! Great video. It's so sad when places change so much. Nowadays for the worst, as the authorities build and build for non British subjects!

My hometown 😊

You would be surprised at the regeneration going on still to this day. It is quite the change. I haven’t lived there for five years but every time I come to visit my family I’m surprised and interested at what is changing. I remember the proposals for redevelopment back in the day but it all seems like it is finally happening. It’s good to see. Just think the spice zombies need to go and we should be golden.

This video needs another update it feels like the update from 91 to 2014 is less than the update from 2014 to 2023. Huge changes in town and a 90s to current day would see massive changes. Great videos though Dave

I used to go to Barnsley every week. Then they tore down the markets and changed everything. I stopped going. They did the same with Donny. Stopped going there an'all. Local markets have got torn down and the community spirits have almost been eliminated. Progress is not always progress!!

You’d see a big change again if you filmed today Dave !

I miss the old McDonalds 😩

I worked at Needham Brothers an brown 1970

Brilliant. That petrol station down from Leos was derelict when I can remeber it. Was born in 83. Lived on racecommon road all my life. Should update the vid with the new quality save and lidl.

God... and even this video is dated! The big supermarket that was being built is an Aldi or a Liddl and acriss from it there's a KFC and the Blockbuster is now a Taco bell... And you can't even go across the railway towards town centre either!

rt1379 when did you live at athersley north? As I was living there at the same time as you?

Time flys

was good to watch but tha needs to do another update as even the updated version is nar out o date LOL...

NOTE!!!

Bah the christ the narator is depressing
