Real Barnsley

In Real Barnsley, Ian McMillan delves into the past of the Barnsley area in which he was born and still lives, exploring its history and recalling his various experiences of this particular patch of South Yorkshire. Barnsley, which is mentioned in the Domesday Book, became an important commercial and cultural centre for the surrounding area, the home of cinemas, theatres, civic life and McMillan’s beloved Tykes – Barnsley FC.
