Click to enlargeWalton Sports and Social Club, Shay Lane. This was the Miners' Welfare in days gone by. The club serves as a venue for sporting and other events such as line dancing and quiz nights. Walton Locks houses are just behind the club. They are built on the old Barnsley Canal route. The club's sports ground used to be the venue for the now discontinued village gala.
