Welcome to the Penistone Archive website
We have thousands of photos, publications, ephemera and documents relating to the local history of the Penistone area and the collection is steadily growing.
The archive is in the process of being digitised which as you might imagine, is a lengthy process. We won’t be able to upload all of it here so what you’ll see on these pages is just a taster. If you don’t see what you’re looking for or would simply like to find out more, please send us an email or pop in to see us – you’re assured a warm welcome and we’ll see what we can do to help.
For more information about the archive and how you can help, please see the About section.
Penistone Archive Group would like to thank anybody who helped to establish this website especially members past and present of the Penistone Archive Group who have donated their time, research and documents which have helped to make this Archive the success it has become.
