I lived in London all my life and moved here 6 years ago and I don't know why all the negative comments about it not being a nice area. I love it compared to London and now being here for 6 years I would never go back. It's so peaceful, the first thing I noticed were how clean the streets are, no litter anywhere! The next thing was how friendly the people are, everyone talks to you not like down South! I have lovely views where I live and only five minutes from Town Center, the night life here was excellent before the Covid restrictions. I love the slower pace of life and tranquillity this place brings and five minutes in the car and your in the Pennines! Great Place thank you for posting!

[@GimbalWalkTV]

Well said! We will be back for a longer look around soon! 👍👍

[@steventhomas8514]

That is because its not a nice area over all

[@John-ob7dh]

I live 30 miles from Trafalger Square.I look out my house window overlooking a farm with horses ,geese,and cows.I am 45 mins drive to Channel tunnel complex and can be in France 2 hours from driving from home.I am also 2o mins from international rail stn ,get on train 75 mins later get off in Paris.Trucked all over the country for 33 years. Aint no where like London.Also 15 mins drive from the biggest indoor shopping complex in Europe.

[@samuelthomas4200]

I moved here from Norfolk and Barnsley is an absolute dump compared. Makes me worry how bad London truly is!

[@samuelthomas4200]

@Ellis The DJ Smashed bus stops, litter on nearly every street, drug addicts roaming town falling over, stabbings and violent crime, insurance prices higher which is indicative of car related crime, I’ve had my car broken into 3 times since living here, dogs being stolen constantly.. do I need to go on and on? There is nice places around but for the whole it’s on the rough side, not as bad as Rotherham or Luton but that’s no achievement

[@thesolidsnakealpha]

Lived in Barnsley all my life, the best thing about it is you can drive for 10 minutes in any given direction an be surrounded by gorgeous countryside. Locals are very genuine and straight talking, may seem slightly standoffish to those unfamiliar. The town has suffered from lots of urban blight in the last 25 years. Lots of historical places to visit in the surrounding area.

[@thesolidsnakealpha]

@@anjusunny9751 It depends how long you're planning on staying, obviously town centre renting will be quite expensive, but renting outside is very reasonable, you're looking at approximately £450-650 per calendar month. Hope this helps Anju. God bless 🙏

[@cassiopeia7393]

I moved from Huddersfield to Barnsley five years ago and think it is a nice, friendly town. The town centre is compact and not so spread out as Huddersfield. There have been big improvements since this video was uploaded. The only downside I can think of is Barnsley has a litter problem but then again I think that is a South Yorkshire problem in general.

[@visitfyldecoast]

I lived just outside Barnsley for 30 odd years before I moved to Cleveleys, just outside Blackpool. It’s hardly changed at all, looks very clean and tidy and attractive. Great tour, I’ll watch your Sheffield one next!

Thank you! Enjoy!

I noticed that you said that coal mining was a major industry in Barnsley, which is correct but so is glassworks, that's why Barnsley's crest is a miner and a glass blower. I love my home town and look forward to seeing how it looks when the refurbishment is complete.

I left Barnsley in June 1962 to go to Australia .I got married in 1965 in Australia and in 1980 brought my Wife and 2 young children to see me Mam and Dad who live in a New House ( to me ,the old one was knocked down ) at side of the Bush Inn ijn Kingstone . It was a huge surprise to see the changes . We've been back a few times the last being 2005 .Seeing this video I'm having trouble getting my bearings .They tell my old School ,Barnsley Grammar School is now a Car Park . As the late Roby Williams said ," Nostalgia ain't what it used to be ".

there's been a lot of changes in 'tarn' since my youth! but it's looking better now they've got rid of all the concrete council/market buildings. i've always thought the town centre was short on 'classic' architecture, but the town hall and surroundings is still something to admire.

Bring back Yorkshire traction busses whistle the bus out . And cudworth bridges removed. why looks a message now . and the fire station in monk betton but named cudworth fire sration it's in Klondike area OF MONK Betton via prontyfact road.
