Modern superstore on the site of the Dearne Paperworks. William Watson is the papermaker between 1857 and 1862. In 1867 the building was destroyed by fire but was rebuilt. The mill finally closed in 1981 (Schmoller 1992, 9-11). Prior to this it was the site of Barnsley Old Mill. There was a corn mill known in this area from the 14th century. There is evidence of the dismantling of a corn mill in 1802 and a new flax spinning mill replacing it. This became a steam powered mill that probably worked into the 1840s. (Umpleby 2000, 131-2). There is fragmentary legibility of the former industrial sites as the course of the Dearne and Dove Canal still runs along the west edge of the site there is a surviving weir but all other water features have been removed.
