Barugh Green (locally pronounced as Bark Green) is a semi-rural commuter village in the West Riding of Yorkshire, at the north-west edge of the townscape spreading out from Barnsley. Beside it is Barugh.
Like many other villages, Barugh Green has lost some of its heritage and cultural identity in the past 30 years. The once central Phoenix Inn public house closed in 1999 and the Spencers Arms closed in 2010 (now Little India, a takeaway which has a unique cooking school), leaving only Barugh Green Working Men's Club and the newly renovated Crown and Anchor.
