A new town square has opened in Yorkshire – and it will host a weekly market.
The former Horse and Groom pub in Goldthorpe, which had fallen into a state of disrepair, was demolished to make way for the new square and was officially opened on Thursday by Barnsley’s mayor, Councillor James Michael Stowe. A market will be held on the square every Thursday from 9am until 3pm, and will host public events. The popular pub is commemorated in the square with a specially-designed mosaic inspired by its sign, while the sign itself is displayed at the rear of the square.
“Being able to trade on the new Goldthorpe Market is the start of something amazing for me and I’m proud to be able to build my business further with this opportunity.” Councillor Robin Franklin, Barnsley Council’s cabinet spokesperson for regeneration and culture, said: “Today is a major milestone in the story of Goldthorpe town centre. This new square will help shape a bright new future for Goldthorpe through the market and public events.
