Path in Sheephouse Wood The path, which forms part of the Barnsley Boundary Walk, here lies on the line of a narrow gauage railway used in the construction of Langsett Reservoir at the turn of the 20th century. Behind the path is the Sheephouse works, a building over 350m in length that once produced steel wire but now lies empty following its recent closure.
