About

Kingstone ward sits within Barnsley's town centre, forming its commercial and civic core. The area is dominated by the large Alhambra Shopping Centre and the adjacent Barnsley Markets, which are a focal point for retail. Barnsley Town Hall, a prominent landmark, anchors the public administrative functions here. The ward's layout is primarily urban, with pedestrianised shopping streets and service roads defining the immediate environment.

The ward contains residential areas, primarily terraced housing, situated off the main commercial streets. The Church of St Mary the Virgin, with its historic churchyard, provides a green space within the urban setting. Transport links are central, with the bus station and railway station both located within the ward boundaries, making it a key transit hub for the wider borough.
