SECOND
WORLD WAR
BARNSLEY’S #BarnsleyWW2
STORY 12 OCT – 21 MAR
From 1939 to 1945 Barnsley was deeply affected by the impact of war. The mines provided
fuel, factories made equipment and munitions; people lived with blackouts, air raids and
the rationing of everyday essentials. The people of Barnsley gave up their time, money and
in some cases their lives to support the war effort. This exhibition looks at life across the
borough in wartime, the sacrifices people made and their courage in adversity, through
objects, images and archives reflecting their stories.
Tailor Made in Barnsley
Sat 4 Apr–Sat 10 Oct
An interactive exhibition all about making!
Inspired by the skills and creativity of
Barnsley’s textile makers over the years,
the exhibition space will be a chance to
learn new skills or practice old ones.
Find out more in the displays about
Barnsley’s textile pioneers and industries –
