Dunford Bridge

Dunford Bridge is a remote hamlet in the civil parish of Dunford, in Barnsley, South Yorkshire, England, 1.3 miles (2 km) from the border with West Yorkshire and 2.3 miles (4 km) from the border with Derbyshire.

The site of the former railway station is now a parking area with the old rail line forming the route of the Trans-Pennine Trail.

In 1974 the two terraces of railway cottages at the eastern tunnel portal, comprising 19 houses, were bought by the Lifespan Educational Trust to establish a commune based on the principles of Summerhill School.

[3] The community continues today with about 20 residents; it farms according to permaculture principles and produces the quarterly Communes Network magazine.

On 15 September 2015 the National Grid announced a plan to bury underground electricity cables and remove seven overhead pylons from the village.
