I left Barnsley in '04, & there's been more changes from then, until when this was uploaded.
Nice to see that massive blue and white H from the old coop building as you went round roundabout, it always reminds me of travelling from my grandads on princess street back to Royston on a Sunday morning in his old Vauxhall cavalier. I always looked out for the big H for some reason
God that brought back some memories, I moved to Barnsley in 1988, my ex mother-in-law used to shop at Leo's every week and we had to register at St George's church for our wedding banns cos my husband lived at Pogmoor. Thank you for this. Can anyone remember the pub at the bottom of the hill before the Alahambra was built, had a right weird name, Gingleboy, I think..
Time for another update Dave! 👍🏼
you don't realise what as changed in Barnsley until you watch this.
Absolutely bloody brilliant video,this actually moved me to tears!av not lived in Barnsley 4 many yrs and I remember all of these images! Great memories n thanks 4 posting
Oh thank you. Its nice to be appreciated. Dave Cherry. ps--there are more of my films on YOU TUBE.
Thanks for that. I'm new to Barnsley and I haven't moved there yet, but I will! It's a lovely town full of character with a good atmosphere.
Brilliant, As the Town changes even more so through regeneration these videos will become ever more important for our history. Even now being in my early 30s watching back brings back so many memories. I spoke to you (briefly) a few months back in that wonderful historical Barnsley institution that is Mcdonalds haha. you may remember a burly Bearded biker asking if you were Dave Cherry. Anyway, Keep up the good work. I think it's fantastic what you are doing to make sure our history is remembered. Lay of the Big Mac's.
Regards,
Ian.
looks so much more different now with the glass works
Nice job on the video .... I was born in Barnsley in 1956.... Grandparents were from Britannia Street off Sheffield road .... Lived out at Athersley North when it was a nice place before moving back to Park Road opposite the park gates in about 1970. Went to Race common Road school or "Ragged arse Rovers" as we called it back then... then later up to Charter school on Broadway ... .. some good memories' there on the video .... made me feel sad ... Left that part of the world in 1985.
oh gooden--there is more on you tube--click on my name--Barnsley archive cine films--flying Scotsman etc--I have 4 hours films in my collection--showing them at town hall sunday September 28 in council chambers with the launch of my book THE WOODHEAD DIARIES--also more on www.dave-cherry.com
lol we need the 2022 version now
Great video Dave, thanks for posting that. Certainly brings back some memories. I'm 44 and remember it well. Cheers!
Sir Bertram Trigger Tonks do you remember when Nirvana was popular in the 90s
Not from Barnsley, but this is a great video. Love anywhere that's given the before and after treatment.
I remember so much of old barnsley. My parents had a shop on Pontefract road opposite Needhams foundry until the new Road went through and we moved to Sheffield road..It's good to see the old videos, thank you Dave.
Maybe time for another drive through Dave. Loved this, thank you.
Great video, thanks for sharing. I only moved to Barnsley in 1996 but recognised some of the old landmarks such as the supermarket that was Leo's, although I think it was a Co-Op in 96. Funny to see that you could drive through Peel Square.
+Nigel Martin Yes, Leo's was a Co-op owned brand too, I shopped there throughout the 80's, they rebranded it as a 'Co-op Pioneer' store in the mid nineties, not sure which year, maybe '93.
I loved that Co-op, I think they shut it in 2003. Surprised the Blockbuster was still there too.
Thank you souch for posting this video, I use to work in Visions night club at this time, and remember the town just like this, by the way I thing the boarded up shop was record shop either Andy's records or Casa disco can't remember
Great stuff dave wish ya cud bring them 60 s back as well great days even 80 s & 90 s sad are times changed but know wot past is history & futures a mystery in it
Good on you Don. Actually I am redoing this film next week. I have got some footage of the Alhambra theatre and the Ceag building. I will put in a feature of George Formby who played his ukelele banjo there for the first time. A lot of people on these sites are wanting it updating from this 5 year old film. I will include the old Tracky sheds which are on the original film. Sees you about Dave.
Dave Cherry yes dave had like to see that ya doin a good job on u tube ya forgot to mention kgh bar lol keep up the good work dave abart time ya got more mentions frm the council boys
Great video .. very informative
great work fella.
My hometown 😊
You need to do another one now
You would be surprised at the regeneration going on still to this day. It is quite the change. I haven’t lived there for five years but every time I come to visit my family I’m surprised and interested at what is changing. I remember the proposals for redevelopment back in the day but it all seems like it is finally happening. It’s good to see. Just think the spice zombies need to go and we should be golden.
This video needs another update it feels like the update from 91 to 2014 is less than the update from 2014 to 2023. Huge changes in town and a 90s to current day would see massive changes. Great videos though Dave
You’d see a big change again if you filmed today Dave !
Aww great memories x thanks for vid
I used to go to Barnsley every week. Then they tore down the markets and changed everything. I stopped going. They did the same with Donny. Stopped going there an'all. Local markets have got torn down and the community spirits have almost been eliminated. Progress is not always progress!!
I miss the old McDonalds 😩
I worked at Needham Brothers an brown 1970
Brilliant. That petrol station down from Leos was derelict when I can remeber it. Was born in 83. Lived on racecommon road all my life.
Should update the vid with the new quality save and lidl.
It was open as late as 1990, I remember going in there around June of that year. There was one on the opposite side of the road to Leo's, I can't remember that one being open.
God... and even this video is dated!
The big supermarket that was being built is an Aldi or a Liddl and acriss from it there's a KFC and the Blockbuster is now a Taco bell...
And you can't even go across the railway towards town centre either!
Time flys
rt1379 when did you live at athersley north? As I was living there at the same time as you?
Hiya am originally from Barnsley n now live in york!can I ask wot school you went to?
+palma violets I went to foulstone for a year then went to darton high school
was good to watch but tha needs to do another update as even the updated version is nar out o date LOL...
+Baron30s honestly I don't no why they are changing the town centre, I was fine the way it was
+lauren thompson I agree..
NOTE!!!
Bah the christ the narator is depressing
