All photographs of this location in date order.
![A view of part of the display board for the Silkstone Waggonway facilities at Barnby Canal Basin, Barugh, between Barnsley & Cawthorne, also shows the Silkstone Branch of the Yorkshire & Lancaster Railway as running across the A635 road close by. This confirms that the remaining section of bridge abutment on the south side of the A635 [See image 56220] was for an over-bridge on this branch, which ran west then south from Silkstone Junction, mid way between Barnsley & Darton stations, on the L & Y line to Horbury Junction.<br><br>[David Pesterfield 04/08/2016]](/images/56000/56088.jpg "Barnby Basin, Barugh")
![A display board, providing information about the horse drawn Silkstone Waggonway, is sited alongside the A635 between Barnsley & Cawthorne. A small plaque mounted on a low wall, and two short rails, face the road. The waggonway linked various collieries in the area to the canal basin that previously existed on the opposite side of the road to the display. The Silkstone Branch of the L&Y crossed over the road some 100 metres towards Barnsley.<br><br>[David Pesterfield 04/08/2016]](/images/56000/56099.jpg "Barnby Basin, Barugh")
