BARNSCAN The Barnsdale Local History Group Patron: Mr Edmund Cooke-Yarborough Barnsdale Local History Group was formed in 1999 by a group of local volunteers who wanted to celebrate Millennium by creating an archive of local photographs and anecdotes of the Barnsdale area, which mainly includes the villages of Sutton, Campsall and Norton in South Yorkshire. Norton Parish Council supported the project with a start-up grant and we successfully applied for a National Lottery Awards for All grant to buy computer equipment. Since the launch in November 2000, we have been busily storing photographs in an archive which we will eventually store on CD to be available to local libraries, schools and the general public. We are very grateful to those local residents who have contributed to the archive and are holding open days to collect more information. The interest is overwhelming and we hope that through the web we hope to contact others who have information or photographs to add to the archive. Please enjoy the small selection of photographs we have included here and
contact us for more information.
