The village has Junior and Infants Schools, a railway station, a single local shop and the Station Inn. One of the most notable events in the history of the village was the Huskar Pit Disaster, which occurred on 4 July 1838 when a freak storm flooded part of the mine, killing 26 children; the youngest was 7 years, the oldest 17. A historical account of this event has been documented in the book entitled Children of the Dark. Notable buildings include Knabb's Hall which was built in late 17th century for William and Elizabeth Wood of Wortley Forge, and the Old Station House, a building located directly beside the railway line which once housed the railway owner but now functions as a residential building.[2] References1. ^This population figure is for the civil parish of Silkstone, which also includes the village of Silkstone.{{cite web |url=http://neighbourhood.statistics.gov.uk/dissemination/LeadTableView.do?a=3&b=790631&c=Silkstone&d=16&e=15&g=362854&i=1001x1003x1004&m=0&enc=1&dsFamilyId=779 |title=Silkstone CP: Parish Headcounts |accessdate=8 April 2007 |work=Neighbourhood Statistics |publisher=Office for National Statistics }} 2. ^{{IoE |334295 |Knabbe's Hall |accessdate=1 February 2008 }} External links{{Commons category inline|Silkstone Common}}{{SouthYorkshire-geo-stub}} 2 : Villages in South Yorkshire|Geography of the Metropolitan Borough of Barnsley |
