    Hiking

    The disused railway is now the Trans Pennine Trail. Built in 1880 as a ‘mineral’ line to carry coal from South Yorkshire into Lancashire. The line was electrified in the 1950s and it was closed in 1982. The second and older disused railway (over the stile from the TPT and across the field into the wood) was laid in 1852 and went as far as Moorend at Silkstone Common. It was built by the South Yorkshire Railway Company to carry coal from the mines in the Moorend, Huskar and Old Sovereign Collieries.
