South Elmsall is a small town to the east of Hemsworth in the City of Wakefield district of Yorkshire. It is on the B6422 and B6474 (which leads to North Elmsall and Upton).

The town is close to the southern boundary of West Yorkshire, being about one mile from South Yorkshire (borough of Doncaster). The A638 Doncaster - Wakefield road runs close to the north of the town, which leads to junction 38 of the A1(M) about three miles to the south-east.

Coal mining
The town is most famous for its coal-mining past; it was the site of Frickley Colliery, which was one of the largest in the whole country and a key source of union radicalism. During the UK Miners' Strike (1984-1985), there were numerous disturbances in the area. On one occasion, four hundred police were deployed to escort two miners to work even though, with the coalfield at a standstill and mining being a collective endeavour, there was no productive work to do.[citation needed] The colliery was closed on 26th November, 1993 - following closures of nearby pits like Ferrymoor-Riddings (1985), Kingsley (1986), South Kirkby (1988) and Grimethorpe (1992). The area around Hemsworth was long one of the most depressed areas of the whole European Union, although fortunes have improved recently.

The town hosts a number of key landmarks that have a place in the wider history of the labour movement in the UK. In addition to the coal mine, the Miner's Institute served as a nerve centre during the strikes of the 1970s and 1980s. The Moorthorpe Empire WMC played a key role in the exchange of ideas, the maintenance of morale and the harnessing of community spirit during 1984. During this period, the Empire became a place for the celebration of unshackled unionism, internationalism, feminism, and even a sympathy for non-violent Irish republicanism. Paradoxically, these tendencies co-existed with a parochial outlook that often manifested itself in overt racism. The labour movement (or labor movement) is a broad term for the development of a collective organization of working people, to campaign in their own interest for better treatment from their employers and political governments, in particular through the implementation of specific laws governing labor relations. ...
