so nice to see, i was brought up in Darfield and when i google Barnsley now it's just football news and violence, great to see the old town i was involved in so much looking like i remember it when a kid

My Dad used to drive the floats later on in the 70's when they switched to the bigger articulated lorries, one year he had to dress up as an Arab- I think it was to drive the S R Gent float. Childhood memories.
