The (newspaper) Reading Room, part of Barnsley Library when it was housed in the Public Hall. This lovely drawing by Brenda Bury (1955) reminds me of the interior. Especially busy on cold, wet days! Barnsley Archives & Local Studies Barnsley Civic Trust Barnsley Libraries

We're more than a bit biased but we're rather fond of The Victorian Arcade too!

This EldonStreetHAZ digital model transports you back in time to see how the Arcade and Eldon Street would have looked in the 1960s

#FlashbackFriday 'Back to the old soup kitchen' was the front page headline in the Barnsley Chronicle this week in 1984

The photo shows the soup kitchen at the Civic Hall in WW2. Did you go to the soup kitchen during the Miners' Strike?

Have you seen our Chamber of Treasures? Or as we should say YOUR Chamber of Treasures, just like the rest of the museum this new area in the main gallery has been made possible through the people of Barnsley donating objects telling their history.

Great to see the brilliant Parkway Cinema Barnsley on BBC breakfast this morning. They're such an asset to Eldon Street and #Barnsley . The free senior screenings for the Know Your Neighbourhood #HSHAZ project have been an amazing way to tackle loneliness Historic England Barnsley Museums & Heritage Trust ❤️

We're so proud to see so much love for our free senior screenings with Barnsley Museums and Historic England! 🩷
