More about this scene
This was the scene in the central shopping and entertainment centre of Barnsley until the late 1960s; then, in the name of modernisation, the whole area including New Street and Cheapside was demolished to make way for a new market complex. A further redevelopment took place in 1991 with the opening of the Alhambra shopping centre.
