I really like your clip here , that pit was actually huge im sure there pics of it from the 80s . It wasn't Barnsley Main, but Oaks Colliery that exploded ... which became part of the later Barnsley Main site kind of . There were quite a few pit disasters in the Barnsley area at that time , very sad when you read the history of it and those familys left with no breadwinner. Much of the Western side of Barnsley on the Pennine foothills lies within the Peak District NP . the way you came into Barnsley via Wath is, or rather was the heart of the Barnsley Coalfield (mostly eastern side of Barnsley Area). You rode on mostly old coal railway lines . 👍
Cheers for this, I appreciate your comment - I actually struggled to find a lot of info on specific mines. I also don't cover much serious stuff and I was worried I'd get the tone wrong!
Do you know what? I'm going to miss your content once it reaches it conclusion. Don't comment much but have followed 'York Review' from the very beginning and have thoroughly enjoyed each and everyone them. I appreciate all your hard work and infectious enthusiasm. Just wanted to say. Tah for all the entertainment.
I have a pretty big video backlog - it's a lot easier to record something than to edit it! Not all of it is York Review though. Some of the other stuff is in/near Yorkshire, but the content is closer to LEJOG than York Review. In fact, the next thing I upload will be one of these...
Richmond isn't on my original 48 list unfortunately (slightly too far from York) - but I have been there before! It features very briefly in our coast-to-coast walk video. Not quite as polished as a York Review episode though

Thanks for the comment! It really makes my day when I hear my tiny channel is entertaining people I haven't even met. Happy to have you on board 😀
Can you see yourself revisiting Yorkshire in the future? Also, do you reckon you'll be doing anymore RUclips content once York review has ended?

It looks nice.
Another great Video .. 🫡
Maybe a real "Yorkshire" visit to Richmond..?

@@StatusMirror Yep.. a fair way...Thanks for reply just catching that coast-coast walk..good stuff.. ⛺ 👍
I thought the awkward transition was brilliant!
I am waiting for the first Y entry
For a place to score Y, it has to be worse than Willerby - that's a very low bar to limbo under in terms of day-trip potential
