Barnsley Town Hall, South Yorkshire, England - 12th June, 2014
This film features views outside and inside Barnsley Town Hall. It begins with views of the steel sculpture called 'Crossing (Vertical)' by Nigel Hall, which has been loaned by Yorkshire Sculpture Park (YSP) for community gardens outside of the Town Hall. The sculpture is 33 ft (10m) high and is made of steel that 'weathers' to form a rust-like patina when exposed to the air.
The footage also features the fountains outside of the Town Hall which are in full flow in the Spring sunshine.
The film is then inside the Town Hall and features views of the Experience Barnsley Museum, and the second and first floors of the town hall including the displayed art works and Barnsley related memorabilia.
The internal architecture of the Town Hall is also featured. The film ends outside of the Town Hall with views of the Town Hall tower and the War Memorial.

Barnsley is a large town in South Yorkshire, England, located halfway between Leeds and Sheffield. Historically in the West Riding of Yorkshire, the town centre lies on the west bank of the Dearne Valley.
Barnsley is surrounded by several smaller settlements which together form the Metropolitan Borough of Barnsley, of which Barnsley is the largest and its administrative centre. The town is accessed from junctions 36, 37 and 38 of the M1 motorway and has a railway station on the Hallam and Penistone Lines. Barnsley F.C. is the local football club.
Barnsley is a former industrial town centred on coal mining and glassmaking.

[Wikipedia] Barnsley Town Hall
Barnsley Town Hall is the seat of local government in the Metropolitan Borough of Barnsley. The Borough's local government was last reorganised in 1986 when the South Yorkshire County Council was abolished. The former County Council was located in offices on Kendray Street, the main part of which is due for demolition as part of a major redevelopment programme.
The foundation stone of Barnsley Town Hall was laid on 21 April 1932 and was opened by Edward, Prince of Wales on 14 December 1933. The cost of construction of the town hall and of furnishing the new seat of local government was £188,037 12/10d. George Orwell in his book The Road to Wigan Pier was highly critical of this expenditure, and said that the council should have spent the money on improving the housing and living conditions of the local miners. Orwell spent a number of days in the town living in the houses of the working-class miners while researching for the book.
Both Barnsley Town Hall and the very similar Parliament Buildings of Northern Ireland, Stormont, were designed by architect Sir Arnold Thornely. The façade of both buildings is sculpted in Portland stone.
In front of the Town Hall, the soldier of the war memorial looks down Regent Street, the financial heart of Barnsley. The cenotaph was built before the Town Hall.
Since the abolition of the County Council, only a small number of council departments are based in the town hall, most of the offices having been distributed around the town centre. In 2006 the Council were building new offices on Westgate to the West of the Town Hall to accommodate 700 staff.
The structure can be seen from the M1, to the west of Barnsley.

CARING,LISTENING,HELPING, On the streets of Barnsley.
Our aim is to share
the love of God
through practical deeds.
Street Pastors Barnsley is a registered initiative affiliated with The Ascension Trust. We seek to serve people in Barnsley Town Centre on a Friday and a Saturday night.
Aims
Simply, we aim to care, listen and help. This takes on a number of forms.
Caring — about our community.
The party goers, the door-staff, the road sweepers, the police, the homeless. Anyone and everyone in our town, regardless of age, gender, wealth, poverty, race, creed or sexual orientation. We believe everyone is made in the image of God and loved by God. As followers of Jesus we are called to love and care for our neighbours and those in our community.
Listening — to anyone who needs to talk.
We understand that not everyone has someone. As human beings we all need community. We are there to be a listening ear or a shoulder to cry on. We are non-judgemental and we will treat each person with integrity and dignity.
Helping — practically, emotionally and spiritually.
We give directions, we give out flip-flops, chocolate, water and blankets. We see people home safely. We provide a uniformed presence and seek to bring peace. We have friends who are experts in different areas, from addictions to abuse, from hotels to housing, we can hook you up with their numbers. We don't preach at you but we are happy to discuss our faith and pray with people on the streets.
A Typical Night
We are based at Hope House Church in the heart Barnsley. We meet to pray before leaving for the streets. Our routes encompass most of the Town centre. We are in teams of three or four containing both men and women. We are in radio contact with the door-staff and the police control room in order to respond to any incidents that may require our assistance. We look after a number of vulnerable people, give practical assistance, first aid, defuse violent situations and give pastoral care. We finish our shift at 4am, when we return to the Church to pray for those we have met that evening/morning. We usually get to bed at around 5am! Check out our website @

Barnsley
An evening walking around Barnsley.
The contrast in architectural styles is as striking as the contrast between the 'haves & the have nots'.
Some very fancy people in very fancy buildings were contrasted by the number of homeless people bedding down in shop doorways asking for spare change.
It makes me both sad and angry.
