Old Town is one of Barnsley's classic inner districts, climbing the hill north-west of the centre in rows of Victorian and Edwardian terraces with long views back over the town. True to its name it's among the oldest parts of Barnsley beyond the centre itself, and today it's a busy, convenient neighbourhood — minutes on foot from the markets, the college and the Gateway Plaza quarter.
The name is exact: this hillside is where Barnsley began. When the monks who held the manor laid out a new market town on the present centre's hilltop in the 1100s, the original village they left behind became, simply, the Old Town — so the district's everyday terraces stand on the borough's oldest inhabited ground. Eight centuries later it still does what it has always done: houses the town's people, one street up from the action.
Terraced streets like Old Town's, with back lanes, ginnels and on-street parking, are where the basics matter most: snap-safe euro cylinders on uPVC doors, British Standard deadlocks on timber doors, locked yard gates and nothing valuable on show in cars. For the full picture of how we protect homes across the borough, see our main Barnsley locksmith page.
David covers every terrace in Old Town — including the neighbouring Honeywell district — across the S70 and S75 area, usually within the hour. City & Guilds accredited, DBS checked and part of the nationwide LocksmithLocal network.
