Penistone and the places nearby.
Penistone is a Pennine market town west of Barnsley, set high on the edge of the moors with a livestock market and an agricultural show. It is surrounded by stone-built villages and farms, and the town has become a sought-after base for commuters to Sheffield, Barnsley and Huddersfield. Winters are harsh up here, so emergency trades and roofers are in demand, and naming Thurlstone, Oxspring and the other villages is the easiest way to cover the real catchment.
