Kilnhurst is a village in South Yorkshire, England, on the banks of the River Don and the Sheffield and South Yorkshire Navigation. It grew up around the coal mining, ceramics, glass, brick-making and locomotive industries: none of these industries remain in the village.

[edit] Railways

Until the 1960s the village had two railway stations; both have since closed.

Residents now rely on Stagecoach buses to go to Rotherham, Mexborough, Barnsley, or Swinton railway station for journeys to Sheffield, Meadowhall or Doncaster.
