The former A6135 passing Hoyland. A new road has been built servicing the Evri distribution shed.

Beside Sheffield Road. The big shed is a distribution (if you are lucky) centre for Evri, previously known as the notorious Hermes or "My Herpes". The A6135 has been rerouted here probably to service the big shed. The field will almost certainly be built upon.

A very large milestone, being inscribed Wentworth Castle, 3 miles. In a rather incongruous setting

Driver location signs are now widely used across the motorway and A–road network. First introduced in 2003, they complement distance marker posts. Both types of marker post display the distances in kilometres from a nominal start point but driver location signs are designed to be read by motorists or their passengers when, for instance, they need to pass details to the emergency services. They give the same location information as distance marker posts, but more visibly on larger signs. They are normally spaced at 500-metre intervals along the nearside verge but if obstacles (eg sliproads or bridges) prevent signs from being erected at these locations, then the interval is reduced to either 400 or 300 metres. Driver location signs display three pieces of information: • The road identifier (eg M1) • The carriageway identifier – The letter on the second line of the signs, usually “A” or “B”, tells the emergency services or the Highways Agency in which direction you are travelling. The letter “A” ("Away from London") normally denotes carriageways leaving London (or clockwise in the case of the M25) and "B" ("Back to London") is used for carriageways going to London (anticlockwise on the M25). The letters "J", "K", "L" and "M" are used to denote junction slip roads or spur roads. • The location (which is identical to the location given on marker posts). Distances are accurate to within 20 metres and are generally quoted from the beginning of the motorway. On the M25 distances are measured clockwise from the Dartford crossing.

The M1 is a north–south motorway connecting London to Leeds, where it joins the A1(M) near Aberford. It was the first motorway to be completed in the United Kingdom. The motorway is 193 miles long and was constructed in four phases. Most of the motorway was opened between 1959 and 1968 but the southern end was extended in 1977 and the northern end was extended in 1999.

Opened in 1854 by the South Yorkshire Railway, later part of the Manchester Sheffield & Lincolnshire Railway, on the Blackburn Valley line from Sheffield Victoria to Barnsley (Stairfoot). This station was rebuilt in 1876, moving slightly closer to the camera position, by the MSLR when the track was doubled. This second station closed in 1940. View north west towards Birdwell & Hoyland Common and Barnsley. This viewpoint would have been on the track between the two platforms with the main buildings on the right and an unusually tall signal box to the left of the track in the distance. It was very isolated with only a few collieries and some rows of terraced housing in the vicinity, all of which have also disappeared. The area is now within a country park.
