Incredible Chippy in Barnsley. Is this the Best Fish And Chips in South Yorkshire? The Friery

[@DJLSWFC]

I'm ex Sheffield and lived 15 years in Barnsley, it's a great little Town, the people are super friendly and the centre has been redeveloped and is a far cry away from the dump Sheffield has become. I'd never return.

[@AbroadYorkshire]

I’ve not been round Sheffield in years either mate. Meadowhall is as close as I’ve been. I’ve been invited over so will be vlogging from there soon.

[@LeeFearn43]

I'm so proud of my town. It used to be a shit hole, but Barnsley Council has invested in regenerating the town centre, and now we have people coming from far and wide once again to visit our town with coaches on a daily basis not only visiting the market but also visiting the amazing Glassworks Square and Shopping Centre. There is always something going on in town, whether it's the Barnsley Continental Food Market, Barnsley Bright Lights, Barnsley Christmas Market and European Food Stalls or BarnsleyLive. There's always something going on in town and I'm proud to call Barnsley my home.

They’ve done a cracking job Lee.

My fathers family comes from Barnsley, in particular Cudworth. We have lived in New Zealand since 1964, I was four when we immigrated. I managed to get to the UK and Barnsley in 2010, met a few of my relatives for the first time. Anyone with the surname Lincoln or Lincoln-Lisle Im related to apparently. It was awesome visit and visited my great grandad's grave in Cudworth cemetery.

[@AbroadYorkshire]

Wonderful story mate. I’m glad to hear you made it over to meet long lost relatives. I’m sure you will agree that the folk around these parts are genuinely lovely, warm, welcoming people.

[@peterlincoln3067]

@AbroadYorkshire absolutely agree, even though I struggled with the strong accent the people where so welcoming especially meeting relatives from New Zealand. I lived in Lancaster (Barnoldswick) for five years till 2015, again the people are awesome.

[@johnlongley8598]

Thanks for putting Barnsley in such a good light. The town hall is the finest in the country. Shwabish Gumund is Barnsley’s twin town that is probably the prettiest town in Germany

[@AbroadYorkshire]

Cheers John, They’ve done a cracking job in the town. I wondered what that street name actually was, you learn something every day pal.. Thanks for watching mate.

[@daffyduk77]

"Putting Barnsley in a good light" - sounds like Mission Impossible. No, seriously, yes it looks like it's been improved a fair amount. I remember as a van driver driving through it, everyone seemed unhealthy-looking. But these days, lots of places are like that. Anyway it's where actor Brian Glover grew up so you can forgive it 🙂. Barnsley accent sounds different from Mr ABroadYorkshire,, which seems more South Yorkshire, saying "dahn" instead of "down" as Mr Glover I think. That one's almost like North Midlands

[@AbroadYorkshire]

@@daffyduk77 Cheers again mate. I agree my accent is a mishmash of all South Yorkshire, as I grew up and lived all over the place, Rotherham, Sheffield, Barnsley and Donny.. I have a very broad Yorkshire accent apparently, hence the channel name A - Broad Yorkshire … although I thought I sound posh….lol…

[@cornedbeefkeith6066]

The Friery, just around the corner from me! Moved to Barnsley from Sheffield in 1995, best decision of my life!! The tarn centre is a great place now, absolutely buzzin' and a fantastic Saturday afternoon out in the many bars! Great vid, keep up the good work!

[@AbroadYorkshire]

Nice one Keith ! You’re in the draw pal. Good luck.

[@DH1985-MB]

Great video - shows our town centre off in a great light. It really does blast the likes of Sheffield and Wakefield out of the water now. Lived in Barnsley all my life and ashamedly never tried The Friery - I'll have to remedy that! Keelings is decent though on Racecommon Road.

Brassed off just a brilliant film that I have watched more than once! I’d like to know more about your teaching career? Love from Lancashire 🌹

[@AbroadYorkshire]

Not a lot to say really Cheryl. I fell into it more than anything. Working with ages 14 upwards. Hard work, long hours but really enjoyed teaching construction based subjects, Health and safety etc. rewarding at times and great to see some of the adults succeed towards the end of my career. Not something I’d consider returning to though these days, too much paperwork, baby sitting and hoop jumping without actually teaching nowadays, especially in schools.

[@cheryltom]
