A-Z of Barrow-in-Furness
Barrow-in-Furness was transformed by the industrial expansion of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, leading to it becoming a centre for ship and submarine building. Nature sits alongside industry and heritage. Located at the tip of a peninsula, known for its own micro-climate and a rich and varied natural environment, the townscape is surrounded by sea, and beyond that the Lakeland Hills, while the protective arms of Walney Island provide a natural channel and harbour.
Farming is still a crucial factor in Barrow and you do not have to stray far to discover old abbey granges still functioning yet diversifying. The iron ore industry once scarred the landscape, but time and new growth have disguised the marks. In this book, Gill Jepson provides a fascinating insight into Barrow's places, events and its famous sons and daughters.
