About

Athersley is a residential suburb situated north of Barnsley town centre. The area is primarily composed of post-war housing, with a mix of terraced and semi-detached homes built to accommodate the town's growing population. Local amenities include several convenience stores, takeaways, and community-focused facilities like the Athersley Recreation Centre.

The layout is defined by a series of circular distributor roads, such as Athersley Road and Smithies Lane, which channel traffic around the estate. Green spaces are integrated throughout, with playing fields and the larger Athersley Park providing recreational areas. A local landmark is the distinctively shaped, multi-peaked roof of the Athersley South Primary School building.
