Easy access to the garden seating area via the door/gate to the right of the shop. There is access into the shop from the garden. Very nice coffee and cakes too. Safe parking for our bikes in the garden area.

A mixture of history, café, shops, geese by the river and somewhere to sit outside. This is a good place to stop on a walk that welcomes walkers and their dogs.

On opposite sides of the then turnpike road were two public houses. The Bonny Bunch of Roses (recently demolished) was build in 1831 by William Tattershall on one side and the Station Inn built in 1853, a year before the railway was opened. A public house stood there previous to that date, called the Junction. Under the railway bridge, note where the original single trackline of 1854, sometime later was widened to double-track so the bridge was widened also. Look for the masons marks on the stones.

A lovely church and site of the Huskar memorial to a mine disaster. The Church of all Saints was built on the remains of an old Saxon Church. Building commenced about 1150 and was completed in 1495. It is built of York stone with an internal oak roof. During the Commonwealth under Cromwell, the wall paintings in the church were whitewashed over and horses stabled in the church. Near the boundary wall there is a large rectangular pointed monument. This is the memorial to the 26 children who lost their lives in the Huskar Pit disaster in July 1838. These children were buried in the graveyard in separate coffins in seven graves. Note the children's ages. The resulting inquiry led to the 1842 Mines Act which sought to introduce some protection for child miners and meant that all girls and boys under the age of ten were prohibited from working underground

Take a moment to look at the village stocks. The sign has further details. The stocks are also right next to The Bells, a pleasant pub, restaurant with outdoor tables for a quiet drink before or after a walk. Across the road the Red Lion is another excellent hostelry with indoor and outdoor space for a drink.

The Station in is the starting point for a number of walking and cycling routes around Silkstone Parish. It's right next to the train station and bus stops. It has outside areas some of which are covered and is a safe place for muddy boots and dog walkers.

Lock bike up outside and enjoy a hot drink and lovely cakes 👍
