Shafton is a growing village in the north-east of the Barnsley borough, sitting between Cudworth and the open farmland towards the Wakefield boundary. An agricultural settlement long before the pits arrived, it's now a popular commuter village with newer housing developments alongside the old village core and excellent road links via the A628 and A6195 Dearne Valley Parkway.
Two Gates, the crossroads name at the village's edge, keeps one of the borough's odder place-names alive, and Shafton still works as a junction village — fields on one side, the parkway sweeping the valley traffic past on the other. Between the two, a generation of new closes has grown without erasing the farming outline: big skies, hedged lanes and barns still in working use.
Commuter villages like Shafton empty out during the working day, and daytime burglary follows exactly that pattern. Visible deterrents and solid hardware — snap-safe euro cylinders, British Standard locks, locked gates and secure garages — make a house a poor bet for anyone watching.
