In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Dearne like this:
DEARNE (The), a river of W. R. Yorkshire. It rises near Denby; and runs about 25 miles eastward, past Barnesley, to the river Don, near Conisbrough.
Dearne is now part of BARNSLEY District. Click here for graphs and data of how BARNSLEY has changed over two centuries. For statistics about Dearne itself, go to Statistics.
