About

The Dearne North ward lies in the northeastern part of the Barnsley borough, encompassing the former mining communities of Goldthorpe and Bolton-upon-Dearne. The area is characterised by residential terraces and local shopping parades along the main thoroughfares, set within the broader Dearne Valley landscape. It is a place with a strong industrial heritage, directly shaped by the now-closed collieries that once dominated the local economy and geography.

A very specific local landmark is the Goldthorpe Globe Theatre, a surviving early 20th-century picture house that speaks to the area's social history. The ward contains several reclaimed green spaces, such as the King's Park in Goldthorpe, which provide recreational areas for residents. Transport links are defined by the A635 road running through its centre, connecting it to neighbouring towns within South Yorkshire.
