Barnsley Archives and Local Studies: "We're celebrating 50 years of Barnsley Council with a small display in our reception area. The council was formally established on 1 April 1974 under the Local Government Act 1972. The act brought major changes to the local government system and reduced the number of councils from 1245 to 412." Oooo I remember that style of artwork and typeface.

Oooo I remember that style of artwork and typeface. Very widely used on bus timetables for a while.
