Thurlstone is a village near Penistone in the metropolitan borough of Barnsley in South Yorkshire, England. Originally it was a small farming community. Some industries developed using water power from the River Don (corn milling, wire drawing and various wool/cloth processes). Most of these are now gone and only James Durrans (carbon products) and Service Direct owned by 'Don Eddie' remains. The village is now a dormitory for the urban areas of South and West Yorkshire.
