The Elsecar branch of the Dearne & Dove Canal was built to carry coal from local collieries. It had opened by 1798, at least 30 years before any railway competition. It closed to traffic [due to mining subsidence] in 1928. It was officially closed in 1961. The towpath is well used and a local group is keen to restore the canal.
