Clark's Chemist
Officially a pharmacy but everyone calls it plain old 'Clark's Chemist', including them. 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. Watch for the amorous lads bottling out and asking 'for aspirins'.

Order prints online from digital photos and download the free 'desktop kiosk' software (about 23 MB) or just walk in with your memory card or CD, press a few buttons and they will do the rest. Ignore the obsequious American accent on the machine. It's to do with their cheese, you know, thery don't do good cheese. Clarks' prints are cheaper than from the inkjet and won't fade as quickly - because they are on proper photographic paper.
www.clarkschemist.co.uk Tel. 01226 76 3103.

Expert in semi-permanent makeup, which can be for beauty or to help after body scarring (such as after a mastectomy).Semi permanent make-up helps to boost confidence by hiding or disguising those features which make people uncomfortable.

Willow Lodge
Not something that a bloke can make any sense of. The flier looks like a message parlour for women but 'Temple Spa' sounds like a perk for freemasons. They go in weary and they come out glowing. Who knows what happens in between. I give up.

Outdoor Fittings and Aerials

'Aerials and TV'
Informative and entertaining website for satellite and aerial installations. This guy clearly knows what he is doing and uses the best materials for the job. Have a look at the 'cowboy's locker' for some crazy examples of poor installations. It is based at Hillsborough, Sheffield, and includes Penistone at a pinch.
www.aerialsandtv.com Tel: 0114 285 4254

Accurate Industrial Doors - Garage doors

Digital World - TV aerials and satellite dishes
Not in Penistone (Hoyland) but they cover a wide area to mostly install satellite dishes. In fact, as contractors to Sky, they are properly trained in the art of fitting Sky dishes and know the jobsworth rules about fitting dishes on council houses. If you want Freesat installed for loads of subscription-free TV channels, give Dave a call. What he doesn't know about installing dishes ain't worth knowing. He even puts the little cover plate on (unlike whoever did my next-door neighbour's).

Pubs and Eateries
Other 'gastropubs' can be found here: Cubley Hall and the White Heart. Also see the pubs page for details and a list of phone numbers of town centre pubs and cafés.

The highly aclaimed Yummy Yorkshire Ice-cream Co. provides the ices. They also have a deli with a range of jams, cheeses, marmalades and other exotic foodstuffs. Their menu includes vegetarian and gluten-free choices. I can confirm that they make a decent mug of builder's tea on request.

Cinnamon Spice - Indian
Licensed curry restaurant and takeaway at 5 Market Street with chatty staff which makes it eminently fitting to our nosey culture. Comfortable and tidy and can be recommended. I took a lovely lass there on a date and she loved it much more than she did me. Can become very busy and it is best to book but it is an easy number to remember - think 'Penistone 6006' as most Penistone numbers start with 76. Opened February 2007.
www.cinnamonspice-penistone.co.uk Tel. 01226 76 6006

Dog and Partridge - Gastropub
Bordhill, Flouch. Located high on the windy A628 Manchester road about four miles from Penistone, towards the border of a strange land beyond - Lancashire. Good ales and food, with a traditional Yorkshire menu and sponge puddings - with proper custard. There's also a veggie menu but it is somewhat limited in this huntin' and shootin' pub. Yee hah! Licensed for Civil Weddings.
www.dogandpartridgeinn.co.uk Tel 01226 76 3173, Fax 01226 379731

The Huntsman - Pub
Lively CAMRA pub in Thurlstone. It is well-regarded in the area for having the very best range of fine traditional beers for miles around and it can be found in the Good Beer Guide. Not a gastropub but they do Sunday dinner, 2pm - 7pm (or until they run out) with a veggie option. Free pub games on offer include darts, dominoes, cards, ringing the bull, bagatelle, shove ha'penny, bar skittles and giant jenga. Licensed for Civil Weddings. Quiz night Wednesdays.
www.thehuntsmanthurlstone.co.uk Tel. 01226 76 4892

(Ye Olde) Mustard Pot - Gastropub
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.
www.mustardpot.co.uk Tel. 01226 76 1155

Pot House Hamlet - Various
Difficult to categorise this place in Silkstone as it covers a lot of bases. It has the 'Potting Shed' eatery (tel 01226 792 525), ice cream kiosk, Pookie ladies' clothes (01226 792 555), House of Roses greetings cards (01226 790 441), Watershed interiors (01226 791 112), JT's hairdresser (01226 790 909), Eden nail bar (01226 792 333), Horsfield's garden centre (01226 790 441) and an outdoor clothes shop (the shop's indoors). More heavily plugged on Penistone Fm than SK's bacon butties so it must be good.

Waggon and Horses - Gastropub
This Oxspring pub/eatery is old. It started as a one room pub for navvies building the railway more than 150 years ago. It's bigger now and has sprouted the Rafters Function Bar, in a spacious room upstairs which is available for private functions seven days a week. My last meal there was not wonderful.
www.thewaggon-oxspring.co.uk Tel. 01226 76 3259

Wortley Arms - Gastropub
Right on the bad bend by the church, the Wortley Arms has a good reputation for food, which is mostly sourced locally. Downstairs a more of a pub atmosphere whilst upstairs is 'Montagu's Restaurant' for those posher moments.

Performers

Rachael McShane - Singer
Rachael is a Penistone lass, a cellist and the only girl in the eleven-piece folk big-band, Bellowhead. Unlike many folk performers, she doesn't put on a pretend Cornish accent to make the point that it is 'folk'. Bellowhead was on BBC TV's 'Later with Jules Holland' in 2006. Rachael is now embarking on a solo career and works alongside musicians whose backgrounds are rooted more in jazz, soul and funk than in folk. The debut album is called ‘No Man’s Fool’. Her dad Chris has long been a musician in the folk tradition and was performing at Penistone Show.

Penistone's Author

Allyson Bird's 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'.

Newspapers and Media

Barnsley Chronicle
This broadsheet for the Barnsley area celebrated its 150^th anniversary in 2008. Seven variants are printed each week including the nominally 'Penistone' version, although it often focusses more on the villages of Silkstone and Cawthorne than on Penistone. Having said that, their reporter Katia always takes notes in the open part of Penistone Town Council meetings. Well they don't publish minutes until they are months out of date. The 'Chron' has often been sympathetic to Penistone's woes at the hands of Barnsley council.

Lex's Pushirons
This Spring Vale bike shop is one of Penistone's almost forgotten gems. Leon Fretwell has run this shop since Methuselah was a bairn, with a wide range of bicycles, spares, bits and bobs, clothing and accessories - and skewers? (that doesn't sound too comfortable). His shop used to be Spring Vale Co-op in the same days when Winnie Adams had the chip shop near David Brown's.
