Profile of Penistone & Stocksbridge

The constituency of Penistone & Stocksbridge lies in the the most southerly county in Yorkshire, South Yorkshire, and is made up of rural and urban landscapes which include:.

  • the Dodworth, Penistone East, and Penistone West wards of the Metropolitan Borough of Barnsley
  • the Stocksbridge and Upper Don, East Ecclesfield and West Ecclesfield wards of the Metropolitan Borough of Sheffield

The constituency has a number of communities which were founded on the coal and steel industries, and to this day steel remains an important local industry. The landscape is part rural with Yorkshire dry-stone walls, small hamlets and farms and part urban with busy communities largely built as a result of the seat's industrial heritage.
