ART produced by children from two Barnsley schools is included on an educational website.

Pupils were involved in a project about the bicentenary of the abolition of the slave trade.

The children from Darton High and Kexborough primary schools studied the trans-atlantic slave trade and its historic links to Barnsley as part of the Hidden Stories project.

Their work is now on show on www.mylearning.org and is displayed in the Copper art gallery. Darton High citizenship teacher, Jane Kaye, said: "The amazing paintings and historic documents really breathe life into the subject."

Also on the website are clips of the children discussing slavery and transcripts of original documents relating to Benjamin Spencer's slave ship called the 'Cannon Hall'.

There are documents about the Crossley family from Oxspring who profited from plantation slavery after the 1807 abolition of the Atlantic trade.

Some of the children's images are included in the Copper gallery's exhibition, Witness, on until October 10.
