The Dearne and District was a tramway linking Barnsley with the towns of Wombwell, Wath , Bolton on Dearne and Thurnscoe. It was the last street tramway to be built in the UK and one of the first to shut. Very few traces of the former D&D remain now and as it closed in the 1930s not many people in the area can even remember it. The body of a former D&D car is still in use as a summer house in a garden on the outskirts of Sheffield. There is the odd passing reference in tram books but that is it...gone and it seems for the most part forgotten.
