Grimethorpe is perhaps the most famous colliery village in Britain — home of the Grimethorpe Colliery Band, the world-renowned brass band whose story inspired the film Brassed Off after the pit closed in 1993. Three decades of regeneration have transformed the village in the north-east of the Barnsley borough, with new housing, the Park Springs business areas and fast Dearne Valley Parkway links — while the band plays on as the village's pride.
Grimethorpe has a literary footnote too: Orwell came here in March 1936 while gathering material for The Road to Wigan Pier, and went down the pit himself — the crawl along the low roadways left the six-foot author battered, and the pages he wrote helped show comfortable England what coal really cost. The village he described has been remade since, but the book keeps its place in the story.
Regenerating villages like Grimethorpe mix brand-new estates with older terraces, and security standards vary just as widely. Whatever the age of the house, the essentials are identical: snap-safe euro cylinders on uPVC doors, British Standard locks on timber doors, secure gates and outbuildings. For the full borough-wide picture, see our main Barnsley locksmith page.
