Platts Common South Yorkshire Map

About Platts Common

Platts Common rests in the Barnsley district, a quiet acknowledgement of South Yorkshire's enduring landscape. It lies 3.0 km south-east of Worsbrough (from Worsbrough: bearing 146°T, OS grid SE 370 015), and is situated south-south-east of Blacker Hill village. The land here, a gentle rise and fall, feels worn smooth by the passage of seasons, the hedgerows a patient, tangled calligraphy against the sky. While its industrial past may have shaped its contours, a certain stillness now pervades Platts Common, a quiet hum beneath the everyday. The light, when it breaks through the often-grey Yorkshire clouds, can possess a remarkable clarity, catching the damp sheen on the tarmac and hinting at the deep green of nearby fields. There is a sense of quiet continuity, a feeling that the lives lived here follow a well-trodden, if unremarkably grand, path.
