the following text is based on an article in Wikipedia

Stairfoot is a village in the {{Place:Metropolitan BorougBarnsley (metropolitan borough), South Yorkshire, England|Metropolitan Borough of Barnsley]] in South Yorkshire, England.

It is perhaps so named because it lies in the valley bottom between the directly opposed undulations of two small hills on the old road from Barnsley to Doncaster.

The Wikipedia article goes on to describe the glass bottling industry of the Ryland family which occurred in the village.
