More information about Penistone
Penistone, situated in the Metropolitan Borough of Barnsley in South Yorkshire, England, is a historic market town with many ties to the car industry, finance industry and motorsport. Boasting more than 7,400 inhabitants, the town has a rich and varied history, as well as a diverse population.
Historically, the town had more of an agricultural focus due to its location close to the Peak District National Park. As well as sheep farming, Penistone was known for its woolen cloth and stone quarries. By the 19th Century, the town had grown significantly, particularly in the manufacturing sector; Penistone plays an integral role in the evolution of the automobile industry in England.
Penistone's car industry connections date back to the early Victorian era, when John Marr, a Penistone manufacturer, popularized the production of motor vehicles. Marr's first product, the 'Maestro', quickly gained popularity, and the name has become synonymous with Penistone ever since. The Maestro was the first motorcar to be manufactured in the town, and Marr went on to be recognized as the 'Father of the British Automobile'.
His success sparked a flurry of automobile production in Penistone and the surrounding area. At its height, there were over 100 companies in Penistone and the surrounding region involved in the automobile industry in some form or another. Some of these companies are still in existence today, including Holmes, Millen, Green & Burgess and Cooper's.
The town is also well known for its financial industry connections and its links to motorsport. Penistone is home to some of the biggest names in banking and finance, including HSBC, Lloyds, NatWest and Aviva, as well as several independent financial advisors. The region is also home to a number of large motor companies and car dealerships which keep the town's economy motor running.
Penistone is also a motorists' paradise, with plenty of quiet roads and scenic views. The area boasts several motorsport venues, including the Monckton Mill Kart Track, which hosts regular kart championship races. Nearby Croft Circuit also hosts regular national, supercars and truck racing events. Away from racing, the area is popular with cyclists and walkers, with a variety of off-road routes and trails available.
The town is also home to a number of attractions, including the Holme Valley Stonemasons, which displays ancient stone tools, tools and artefacts from the stone quarrying industry. Other attractions include the Penistone Country Market, which sells local produce from nearby farms, and the Penistone Sheepdog Trials, which has been running for over 25 years. There are also several annual events in the town, from the popular and much-loved Penistone Show, which brings locals and visitors together for competitive and recreational activities, to the two-day Penistone music festival which showcases the best in local and national music.
Penistone is a vibrant and engaged community, with a population of 7,400 and a median age of roughly 42. Pretty much equally split between male and female, the population is highly educated, with 56.7% of adults aged 25-64 having at least a Level 3 Qualification.
A further highlight is the town's attractive natural environment, with its proximity to the moorlands of the Peak District. As well as its connections to the car industry and finance, its proximity to the national park makes Penistone an attractive destination for visitors and locals alike.
Ultimately, Penistone has a fascinating and varied history — from its links to the car industry, to its financial industry connections, and its well-earned reputation for motorsport — and as a connected and engaged community, it is well-placed to continue to contribute to its region's economy in the future.
