Dearne Valley Country Park
Find out about Dearne Valley Country Park near Barnsley from the local Council page:
Dearne Valley runs alonside the river for two miles from Old Mill to the Trans Pennine Trail viaduct at Lundwood. It is for mixed informal recreational use such as walking, cycling, angling and for wildlife, as part of the site is a local nature reserve. There are also facilities for children's play up to age 11 and a skate park.
Location:
The park is situated less than a mile from the town centre and is surrounded by communities such as Oakwell, Old Mill, Monk Bretton, Lundwood, Stairfoot and Hoyle Mill. It is open all hours.
The Barnsley Canal is a canal that ran from Barnby Basin, through Barnsley, South Yorkshire, England to a junction with the Aire and Calder Navigation near Wakefield. It was 14.5 miles (23.3 km) long and included 15 locks. It was taken over by the Aire and Calder Navigation in 1854, and despite competition from the railways, and structural damage from subsidence, remained profitable until 1942. It was abandoned in 1953, after major breaches occurred in 1945 and 1946, and is currently disused, although there are proposals from the Barnsley Canal Consortium to restore and reopen it. ( )
History
The early 1790s were a time when there was an increasing demand for coal, but a shortage in many places because much of the coal being produced was being consumed by industries close to the mines. There were coal reserves near Barnsley, but no transport links to distribute it to the region. In July 1792, the Aire and Calder Canal Company asked William Martin, who was the manager of the canal, to prepare plans for a link from near Wakefield to the Barnsley mines. Hearing of the plans, the River Don Navigation Company proposed an alternative, which involved the canalisation of the River Dearne, to reach the same destination. The Aire and Calder scheme foresaw a healthy trade in coal and manufactured goods from Barnsley to the Aire and Calder, and agricultural lime from Knottingley in the reverse direction.
Construction
Construction work started on 27 September 1793, at Heath Common, near the junction with the Aire and Calder Canal. Samual Hartley was the engineer, and John Pinkerton was contracted to build the canal. Construction was difficult, with Pinkerton unexpectedly encountering rock in the cutting at Cold Hiendley, and inflation pushed up the costs. There were disputes between Hartley and Pinkerton, which lasted until long after the canal was opened, and were finally settled in 1812, after a lawsuit. The northern section to Barnsley opened on 8 June 1799, while the Barnsley to Barnby section was not started until late 1798, and did not open until early 1802. The Dearne and Dove Canal was completed in late 1804.
Traffic
The canal was principally designed to carry coal from collieries in the Barnby region. The Low Moor Company had a colliery at Barnby Furnace, and constructed a 0.5-mile (0.80 km) tramway between there and Barnby basin, which was carrying coal by 1802. By 1804, around 10,000 tons was leaving the colliery, although the Dearne and Dove Canal had opened in late 1803, and only about half of the trade travelled the full length of the canal to the Aire and Calder. Coal from the Silkstone collieries was sporadic, as the tramway which had been authorised by the Act of Parliament was not built due to financial constraints. The Barnby Furnace mine failed in 1806, and the company found itself with no money and little traffic. It obtained a new Act of Parliament on 28 March 1808, authorising it to raise another £43,000 in share capital, and £10,000 by mortgage. They were also able to raise the tolls.

GAVIN LERENA ON HIS UK CHALLENGE
Gavin Lerena: A month into my working trip to the UK, where I’m based at the Lambourn training centre in rural Berkshire, I’m finding it an eye-opening voyage of discovery. It’s all very different to the day-to-day routine back home in South Africa.
June 9, 2017
I’ve set myself an ambitious itinerary that is taking me to many racecourses and private stables, making each day different.
And as I burn up the miles travelling to all corners of England in search of winners, I’ve had time to reflect on the contrasts to working out of Johannesburg.
When I landed in London it rained, with trainers welcoming the change after an unusually dry spring. I’ve been like a magnet to the wet stuff as the rain has followed me wherever I’ve gone.
Last Monday I drove from my home base for about two hours to Leicester for one ride and then on to another at Windsor – through driving rain. Two hours later, I reached the course only to be told by the trainer of the favourite I was due to ride that it had been scratched, because of the change in the going, meaning I’d gone on a two-hour detour for nothing.
But I cannot complain and will keep plugging away.
Travel time to and from the races is a challenge. In Joburg, it’s 20 minutes to Turffontein and 50 minutes to the Vaal. Here a jockey must drive daily five-hour round trips when there are afternoon and evening meetings. It must be very strenuous to do that throughout the summer and I take my hat off to them.
I brought my golf clubs but so far haven’t had time to make a single putt or chip.
Let’s put it this way, if a trainer asks me to go to race at Flamingo Park in future I will do it with a smile on my face.
I’m trying to ride work for as many trainers as I can, though the practicality of that is not straightforward. Apart from riding work for Charlie Hills, with whom I’m based, I’ve been to Newmarket a couple of times, as well as getting to most of the bigger Lambourn trainers. However, their stables are quite far apart, meaning on a single morning it’s difficult to ride work for more than one trainer.
This is completely different to South Africa where, in a single morning at Randjesfontein, I can ride work for five or six trainers and sit on 20 horses.
To date, I’ve visited Richard Hannon at his East Everleigh Stables, Amanda Perrett in West Sussex, Mick Channon at West Ilsley, Paul Cole at Whatcombe and Brian Meehan at Manton. In Newmarket, I’ve ridden work for Michael Bell and George Scott.
The scenery is breathtaking and the variety of gallops just amazing. It’s been a pleasure to learn about the history behind the various yards in the Lambourn Valley and the great horses trained there over the years.
New to me is the way the UK trainers orchestrate the gallops on their main work mornings. They have a plan and the riders in the gallop must follow orders. It’s important that the riders get it right and, touch wood, so far I have managed to adjust.
The horses here are super-fit and I’ve ridden some big prospects on the gallops. Now I need to get on them on the race track.
I have ridden in races at the Newmarket Rowley course, where I had my first winner for Amanda Perrett; and at Bath, Brighton, Yarmouth, Goodwood, Leicester, Lingfield, Doncaster, Kempton and Wolverhampton.
There are dramatic variations from course to course and I’ve experienced amazing uphills and downhills, taking left turns and then right.
The racing is the best in the world, but the day-to-day stake money doesn’t compare favourably with South Africa.
My wife Vikki and son Ashton have joined me and we live in a country cottage opposite the Sheikh Hamdan-owned Kingwood Stud on the edge of Lambourn.
The cottage is very different from our home in Johannesburg, but it has English charm and when we look out we see bushes, trees and green fields stretching for miles.
I would like to thank the Hills family, my sponsors, Chelsea Thoroughbreds – in particular, James Ramsden and Richard Morecombe – and Neil Morrice. They have all been so welcoming and accommodating.
