Shop Local - Save Fuel
This page was checked for linkrot in June 2021 and the links should be good for a while. Be cautious about spending money through websites which have only a contact form or mobile phone number as it implies that they might not be permanent or that they don't want the business owner's details to be made public. A well-established and registered company would have: Full address, Landline phone, Website, Email and a Registered Company Number. The best thing to do is to shop locally, support the small businesses and save fuel by keeping it local.

Buyer Beware:
Before committing to large purchases, it's a good idea to do background checks of registered companies and their directors at: Companies House (free) and Company Check (paid for). An English-sounding company might be a one-man-band in a shed half a globe away. If a small local company is unregistered, it might still be good but look for feedback from other customers. Some might be slow to pay bills unless pressed. Also search local businesses on Info is Info. Check the background of websites with Whois (websites are all registered to someone).

For Traders

Contact Details
The contact details should be informative and correct.
1. Penistone telephone numbers have the dialling code of 01226 (Barnsley Exchange).
2. Penistone addresses are all in the S36 Sheffield postal area (not Barnsley) which includes Deepcar and Stocksbridge. Our mail is sorted in Sheffield.
3. The correct form of Penistone addresses is: (Business Name), (Street address), Penistone, SHEFFIELD, South Yorkshire, S36 xxx.
4. Check the Postcode. As an example, the S36 6AR link goes to Penistone church (a useful postcode for websites which ask for too much information).

Penistone Traders' Association - Businesses in Penistone and other Principal Towns of the Barnsley borough have been contacted by 'Save the High Street' (Barnsley Council) suggesting that they set up Traders' Associations. Penistone's Traders' Association started in July and has become officially recognised. Town centre socal shops, businesses and market traders are represented at their monthly meetings. If you have a similar business, sign up to their sleekly-titled 'Love Penistone Traders Association Member Group' (Facebook) for more info.

'Boost Your Business'
Some (all?) BMBC initiatives suggest more than they can offer:

The 'Barnsley Gift Card' scheme is supported by about a dozen businesses in Penistone but it is largely unknown.
Shopappy can muster 35 for the town of Barnsley but is not supported by our local businesses.
Yoello is used to buy food and goods but requires people to trust them with bank details as middlemen, with few obvious benefits, and
MiRewards, also uses bank details and can gain points entered into a draw for monies spent.

Announcing a Special Event?
Get the word out. Wayne Chadburn is Penistone's reporter to Barnsley Chronicle and will be pleased to receive any event notifications and local news items. Find him on Facebook or email: wayne.chadburn@outlook.com.

Health & Beauty

All is Good (Delicatessen, soaps, candles and gifts)
On the food side it has some lovely pies, including vegan/veggie, fresh loaves, cakes and tarts. It is unusual in having a bank of refill dispensers for eco-friendly goods. You buy their bottle, fill it up (such as shampoo, washing up liquid, etc), use it up then go back for more. Good for those tricky spices, dessicated coconut, sauces, etc. Some nice smellies and girly things. Also craft workshops and some arty stuff for sale. An interesting shop, new in 2021 next to St Mary's St. roundabout.

They stock pharmaceuticals, ladies' smellies, make-up, lollipops, watches, clocks, ornaments, mugs, gents' toiletries, shaving tackle, liquorice (& Imps), shampoo, stuff for bad feet, runny noses and smelly armpits.

Otherwise, walk in with your memory card or CD, press a few buttons and they will do the rest. Their machine can make customised calendars from your photos. Clarks' prints are cheaper than inkjet and won't fade as quickly - because they are on proper photographic paper.
There are two websites to ponder: Clark's Chemist - Pharmacy services, and AM Clark Ltd. - Photographic services, Tel. 01226 76 3103.

Forever Living
This is included as a result of some canvassing on Penistone High Street by Jodie Couling. It looks like various kinds of beauty or 'nurturing' products but also includes a weight-loss programme.
Facebook only so far. Tel. 07752 246 151, jodiecouling@hotmail.co.uk

Penistone Leisure Centre
Some of us still remember it as Penistone Drill Hall, such as when it was a centre for Old Time Dancing. Then it became the Sports Centre before its current name.

Spa 493
This Beauty parlour was opened in December 2014 by beauty therapist Kristi Arabskyj. The business overlooks the St Mary's Street Roundabout in a very prominent location. However, their website is somewhat less prominent if you use a smart television, when you will be completely rejected by a message saying that your web browser in no longer supported. Then you go away feeling disappointed and uninformed about their services. The choice of technology is for the customer, not the vendor, and a good website would work with any web browser.
Spa 493, Call 01226 872 800, info@thespa493.com.

Sue Nightingale
Expert in semi-permanent makeup, for beauty or to help with body-scarring after such as a mastectomy. Semi-permanent make-up helps to boost confidence by hiding or disguising those features which make people uncomfortable. Or they could do Michael Jackson-style permanent mascara. This is one of those businesses by 'The Loft' on Back Lane. Please note that 'Market Place' might be an error in the address, as that name historically belongs to an area near the church, not near the Market Barn.

Willow Lodge
Not something that the average bloke make sense of. The flier looks like a message parlour for women but 'Temple Spa' sounds more like a masonic away-day. They goes in weary and they comes out glowing. Clean too. Who knows what happens in between. I give up.

Posh eating place at Midhopestones village. Just go up Cubley and follow the road over the top and down, across the the main A616. Then turn first-right. In fact, there's not much else in the hamlet. It was the 'Club Inn' in the good old days, as the watering hole for farmers.

Pot House Hamlet - Cafe and Ice Creams
Difficult to categorise this place in Silkstone as it covers a lot of bases. It has the 'Potting Shed' eatery , ice cream kiosk, Pookie ladies' clothes, Horsfield's garden centre and more. Also a petting zoo of sorts with goats, sheep, hens and other greedy critters you can feed. Two parking areas but take care between the upper and lower car parks.

Local Authors

Allyson Bird
Her book 'Bull Running for Girls' ISBN: 978-1-906652-01-2 (aimed at adults) is a very readable collection of short supernatural/dark fiction stories, 'where adventure meets horror'. Some of the stories are set around Penistone and Cubley. I found it to be good and compelling reading and I loved the spooky cover illustrations. Allyson says: "My stories are set in all the countries that I’ve travelled to and lived in, including China, Italy, Spain.... Cubley. The lady on the intro isn’t me but was photographed by the award-winning artist Vincent Chong."

Within this collection are "Females who cause trouble, some who help you out of it and some who just can’t leave it alone." Also described as "... a writer of organized chaos. Her work is Halloween candy with razor blades in it."

Another collection is out: 'Wine and Rank Poison', published by Dark Regions Press. The cover of Allyson's debut novel 'Isis Unbound' is on her website now and the book will be out soon. Its title appears to be an interesting twist on Helena Blavatsky's mystical book: 'Isis Unveiled', which was published by the Theosophical Society a century before 'MacDonna' threw money at them'.
Allyson Bird

Chrissie Yates
Chrissie is a retired teacher from Rotherham who now lives locally. Her first book 'When Evil Walks Among Us' (Pub 2023, Amazon) was the gruesome story about four life-long friends who enter into organised crime in the fictional northern town of Penton, which sounds vaguely familiar. You can bet the chip shops all close on Mondays in Penton. Chrissie started writing her novels during the Covid-19 lockdown just as something of a pastime and was very surprised when her works proved to be popular. Her follow-ups are: 'The Happiest Ever After' (Pub'd 2024, Amazon) and 'When the Devil is Owed' (Pub'd 2024, Amazon).

Upper Don Renewable Energy Ltd.
Registered RS008256 at Companies House but with no details, names or contacts. It is not a registered charity either but some sort of co-operative, self-described (in Look Local) as 'a local climate change group' and letters from it to the paper were unsigned. The 'Directory of Co-operatives' has the same address of Stocksbridge Town Council, Town Hall, The Arc, Manchester Road, Stocksbridge, Sheffield, S36 2D, which only makes it more mysterious. An event by the whatever-it-is suggested a party political connection. This company with its anonymous management has gained nearly £40,000 from (HMG) Rural Community Energy Fund (details from Mayor of Tees Valley Combined Authority): 'To investigate the possibility of a community-owned biogas digester, sourcing feedstock in the local area to produce biogas for heating and/or transport fuel and digestate fertiliser.' But, further web searches reveal nothing more so far, with no website or email address linked to a business domain. Very odd. Anonymity breeds suspicion.
