16th April 2025
Barnsley Museums and Heritage Trust has been busy helping preserve the town’s rich history by supporting the Barnsley Archives. Recent additions include rare hand-drawn maps from the 1800s by Francis Kendray, a commemorative Co-op trowel form 1884, a Pupil-Teacher’s book from Barnsley’s own Mary Ellen Spencer, and even a Saxon tour poster from the 1980s. These treasures – along with vital storage upgrades – ensure Barnsley’s stories are safeguarded for generations. Thanks to our supporters, history lives on.
