Birdwell & Hoyland Common railway station
Birdwell & Hoyland Common railway station was a railway station on the South Yorkshire Railway's Blackburn Valley line between Westwood and High Royds. The station was intended to serve the villages of Pilley, Birdwell and Hoyland Common, near Barnsley, South Yorkshire, England although the original chosen site was moved half a mile nearer towards Barnsley to serve the purposes of the Earl of Wharncliffe who was, at that time, sinking Wharncliffe Silkstone Colliery nearby. This move away made the station less convenient for most of the population.
