Specifikacia Barrow-In-Furness Reflections Jepson Gill
The Cumbrian town of Barrow-in-Furness was transformed by industrial expansion in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries leading to it becoming a centre for ship and submarine building. Located at the tip of a peninsula, with 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. Nature sits alongside industry and heritage. Looking across the channel is a medieval castle on an island, a nuclear submarine dockyard, factories and gas terminals, the town and the sands of Morecambe Bay. 'Barrow-in-Furness Reflections' features a superb collection of historic and modern pictures that are individually merged to reveal how the town has changed over the decades. Each of the 180 pictures combines a recent colour view with the matching sepia archive scene.
