Worsbrough Wagonway Sculpture

Highlight • Monument

The sculpture is inspired by the Worsbrough Wagonway (also called Coal Tramway) which extended from the canal head at Worsbrough, along the southern edge of the Reservoir. It serviced the coal and iron industries. Just below Rockley Old Hall was a junction with one branch going to Silkstone Main Colliery and the other to Pilley Hills Colliery and Ironstone mines.

The earliest documentary evidence for the wagonway was in the Edmunds Estate Account, when in 1834 John Saville was paid seven pounds for loss of a strip of farming land along the edge of his field, for the tracks of the wagonway. John Saville was the Miller and Farmer at Worsbrough Mill.

Worsbrough Reservoir Path

Highlight • Lake

Really nice reservoir, lots to do an explore. There is a cafe which could be worth checking out for some lunch?

Dont go on the path nearest the water, it gets very busy.
