    My dad worked at Highgate pit (drift mine), but the actual workings were somewhere 7 miles to the east (almost under Doncaster). From the pit top it took nearly an hour of paddy train rides and walking to get to the face. In an 8 hour shift they actually worked for 6 hours....

    A Postcode and address is ultimately what Royal Mail allocate for the purpose of sorting mail. An address doesn’t always define the council area/town a place sits in. There are a number of places in the Metropolitan Borough of Barnsley (served by Barnsley Council) that don’t have Barnsley as their post town. Usually ones close to the border of another council area. Operationally, Barnsley has two Delivery Offices - Barnsley (S70, S71, S75) and Wombwell (S73, S74).

    Penistone and the smaller villages have a Sheffield postal address because mail is sorted to Stocksbridge Delivery Office - the nearest operational office.

    Goldthorpe, Thurnscoe, Bolton-Upon-Dearne have a Rotherham postal address because mail is sorted to Manvers Delivery Office.

    Woolley Grange has an S75 postcode because it makes more sense to serve that estate from Barnsley. It’s definitely Wakefield Council.

    post codes don’t determine the town you live in mate, people often get mistaken by that.

    Interesting that Sheffield are after nabbing some of the borough at the new housing development at Oughtibridge Mill https://www.thestar.co.uk/news/poli...boundary-add-huge-housing-development-3035310, while Woolley Grange remains under Wakey and Cortonwood retail is under Rotherham, where BMBC is responsible for all access but presumably RMBC get the rates revenue.

    Interesting! That’s a fair bit of lost council tax revenue for the council, however, the reasons for changing do make sense - especially for things like refuse collections. They’d have a Sheffield address even if it stays with BMBC.

    A bit like Moorthorpe. It comes under Pontefract but I wouldn't want to walk there.

    I know it’s an underground map, but surely they could have made room for Nudger’s Bridge on it.
