The Barnsley Canal is a canal that ran from Barnby Basin through Barnsley South Yorkshire England to a junction with the Aire and Calder Navigation near Wakefield. It was 14.5 miles (23.3 km) long and included 15 locks. It was taken over by the Aire and Calder Navigation in 1854 and despite competition from the railways and structural damage from subsidence remained profitable until 1942.
