'From Pastureland To Port Pt 2 - History Of Barrow-In-furness'

From Pastureland To Port Pt. 2 History Of Barrow-In-Furness This 14 minute film was made in 2018 after the 150th anniversary of the opening of the Devonshire Dock and The Port of Barrow in 1867. This is its first showing. It describes events and celebrations at the opening of The Devonshire Dock on Thursday 19th September 1867 just a few months after the incorporation of the new municipal borough of Barrow-in-Furness. The film goes on to show how the town developed along the shore of the tidal Barrow Island Channel where, before the building of the docks and the railway, locally mined iron ore was carted in to jetties to be exported by ship. The original site of Barrowhead village was in the area that slopes down from Schneider Square to Bucchleuch Dock. This isolated area of Lower Furness was soon to be transformed by the Industrial Revolution into an industrial boom town.
