A SNEAK peek first look was revealed today of a vision to create a new £25m Yorkshire heritage railway experience - including a reconstructed 1849 Fitzwilliam locomotive.
It also includes a rail college, outdoor events area and more, writes Graham Walker. The vision, including artist impressions, has been announced for the former site of the Elsecar Ironworks – at Barnsley’s already popular Elsecar Heritage Centre. Funding options are now being explored for the new development, which has been costed at around £25m to be delivered in full. It may be progressed in stages as funding becomes available.
It is closely aligned to Barnsley’s 2030 vision as ‘a place of possibilities’. Elsecar has a long history as an international centre of coal mining and ironworking, with many achievements to its name. The new development will share that history and celebrate the wider innovation heritage of South Yorkshire. Funding options are being explored for the new development, which has been costed at around £25m to be delivered in full. It may be progressed in stages as funding becomes available.
