Penistone Online
Formerly 'Penistone UK', this new-look website (sponsored by Penistone council) has had apostrophes refitted in all the right places. Bits of the old website are still around but will disappear eventually. A favicon might add extra polish but the new website looks good. Managed by surfandsnackshack (youth club).

The Knowhere Guide to Penistone
You'll love this one, especially the pub guide, even if it is out of date. It started as a kid's skateboard site listing but developed into an entertaining 'warts and all' guide to places throughout the UK. Some good laughs and smelling pistakes.

 Penistone Grammar School
Lots of info about this school which can trace its roots back to 1392. This is where I was eddycated wen I wuz a yoof. See; I can do capital letters and punctuation - a gr8 success. The Clarel coat of arms has been used by the school for a very long time and is adopted by local organisations as Penistone's logo, even in the Town Hall (behind the rhs curtain). The six heraldic birds are martlets - footless birds. They are good at falling over.
