Barrow-in-Furness

Official Guide & Street Plan

Including maps of Askam-in-Furness • Dalton-in-Furness Lindal-in-Furness • Marton & Newton-in-Furness & Walney Island

• Quality Coast Barrow-in-Furness – Best of all places in England for landscapes, coasts and wildlife. Barrow-in-Furness; rated 1st out of all 325 English boroughs for its natural assets, 2015 and 2016 Heritage Index produced by the RSA in collaboration with the Heritage Lottery Fund. This will raise the profile of internationally important natural landscapes on Walney Island and around Barrow.

• Barrow is leading: Britain’s Energy Revolution Active power generation projects: (i) The world’s largest operational offshore windfarm, Walney extension, became operational on 6th September 2018.

(ii) The Roosecote Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) started construction in 2017 and will be ready for grid export in winter 2018 and (iii) The Fast-Response Gas Facility is in development, with a view to start construction in 2018.

Once complete, the facility will be capable of responding to fluctuations in demand in under a second, holding enough power to meet the needs of around 50,000 homes. Mark Futyan, Merchant Power Director of Centrica’s Distributed Energy & Power business said: “This is a great opportunity for the region to be at the forefront of a new era for the energy industry as we bring in the very best in terms of state-of-the-art battery technology to help ensure stability of supply for local homes and businesses.”

The 659-megawatt (MW) project, leapfrogs London Array to become the world’s largest operational wind farm.

• Barrow is leading: British Industry in Advanced Manufacturing

Walney Extension’s 87 turbines are capable of generating enough green energy to power almost 600,000 UK homes.

Covering an area of 145km² in the Irish Sea, the project becomes Ørsted’s 11th operational offshore wind farm in the UK.

Barrow-in-Furness has a rich heritage and a proud tradition for world leading Advanced manufacturing and Engineering Excellence. BAE Systems Submarines in Barrow-in-Furness design, build, test and commission nuclear powered submarines. The design and build of a nuclear-powered submarine is one of the world’s most complex and technically demanding engineering challenges. Dreadnought is the British programme to replace the 4 Vanguard submarines which have provided continuous at sea deterrence since 1992 with 4 new submarines that will be built in Barrow-in-Furness. Planning to invest in advanced manufacturing in the North-West of England or Cumbria? Then do it here in Barrow-in-Furness. The Furness area has UK assisted area status, set to continue to 2020.

Companies will qualify for enhanced discretionary capital investment or job creating grants.

The project has worked with key suppliers from across the UK, supporting the growth of offshore wind “clusters” around the country.

The completion of Walney Extension brings Ørsted’s total capacity operating out of Barrow up to 1.5 gigawatts (GW), which is enough to power more than 1.2 million UK homes. Ørsted’s ongoing operations and maintenance activities will support more than 250 direct jobs in the region.

Matthew Wright, Ørsted’s UK managing director, said: “The UK is the global leader in offshore wind and Walney Extension showcases the industry’s incredible success story.

The project, completed on time and within budget, also marks another important step towards Ørsted’s vision of a world that runs entirely on green energy. We want to ensure that the local community becomes an integral part of the renewable energy revolution that’s happening along its coastline.”

Construction of Walney extension was co-ordinated from Ørsted’s West Coast Hub, at the Port of Barrow, which will now become home to the project’s operations and maintenance team. The West Coast Hub also services three further Ørsted offshore wind farms (Barrow, Walney and West of Duddon Sands).

As part of Ørsted’s commitment to the region, a £15million Walney extension community fund has been set up to support local projects and organisations. Each year, around £600,000 will be made available for the expected 25-year lifetime of the wind farm. To date, Ørsted has funded over 40 inspirational projects – totalling almost £1,000,000 in grants.

Barrow Waterfront Business Park is identified as a major new business and employment location for Barrow. The Business Park can provide regionally significant economic development in a sustainable location. The remediation, carried out by Cumbria County Council, represents an important step towards the preparation of a large area of Barrow Waterfront for future employment opportunities, returning an undeveloped area back into the economic core of the town. Development of this site will act as a catalyst for further regeneration in the port area and Barrow.

The proposed Barrow Island Growth Zone seeks to build on this investment to create jobs in advanced manufacturing and to support the supply chain for Furness and national companies. A new era of site investment at The Waterfront Business Park, Barrow-in- Furness, one of the NW England’s best coastal strategic sites for business growth is upon us.

There is a scope to build on linkages with counterparts in Scotland, South West England and east Midlands around Derby, where Rolls Royce are based, to develop new supply chain partnerships.

Barrow-in-Furness: A Great Place to Live, Work or Visit

This guide will give you an insight into the many and varied places of interest and things you can do in and around the Borough of Barrow-in-Furness. Expect the unexpected! There are hidden gems around every corner and unique wildlife under every sand dune.

The great outdoors is there to be explored in this safe, beautiful and yet largely unknown, corner of England.

Whatever your choice, be it good food, sport, entertainment, night life, sea or sandy beaches, you will love Barrow-in-Furness, the nearby towns, villages and surrounding countryside.

Where is it?

In the north of England in Cumbria close to the Lake District National Park.

The Borough of Barrowin-Furness is located at the southern tip of the Furness peninsula on the north

shore of Morecambe Bay. Barrow and its islands look across the Irish sea towards the Isle of Man to the west.

Morecambe Bay, with its vast intertidal areas, lies to the south and the Duddon Estuary to the north. On a fine day you can see Blackpool tower from Rampside and Roa Island.

It is a stunning part of the world, with fantastic seascapes against the backdrop of the Lake District fells.

The Borough includes the principal town of Barrowin-Furness, Walney Island and the parishes of Dalton with Newton, Askam and Ireleth and Lindal and Marton. It is home to around 68,000 people, 14% of Cumbria’s population.

The town of Barrow-inFurness is architecturally and visually attractive. It is a planned town, laid out by Sir

10 I www.visitbarrow.org.uk

James Ramsden, the first Mayor of Barrow, engineer and Victorian entrepreneur.

It is also the main cultural, commercial and retail centre for South West Cumbria.

A little bit of history Prior to the industrial revolution, the medieval market town of Daltonin-Furness was the main town in the area. This ancient capital of Furness and birthplace of George Romney, the renowned portrait painter, lies a few miles to the north. The recent discovery of a Viking Hoard nearby, (which is now on display in the Dock Museum), illustrates the settlement of this area in the 9th and 10th centuries.

The area came under the control of the Cistercian Abbot, based in Furness Abbey on the outskirts of the Town. The monks

spread their influence across the whole peninsula, building Dalton Castle as their Courthouse, using Piel Island as a natural harbour and establishing a Grange Farm at Biggar on Walney Island.

Barrow grew from a village to a major town in the early 19th century as the industrial revolution in England fuelled a need for iron, which opened up the peninsula to haematite

mining. In 1843 there were only 32 dwellings and 2 pubs in the hamlet. In 1846 the Furness Railway was built by Henry Schneider (an iron speculator) and James Ramsden (rail engineer) to transport local iron ore and slate out of the area and later was extended to Carnforth to connect with the country’s main rail networks.

The town grew to become the world’s leading steel producer which in turn attracted investment in a

deep water seaport and shipbuilding. At the forefront of technological progress and with a tradition of unparalleled engineering skills, the town is world renowned for its engineering technologies, particularly submarine building. It is proud of this reputation as a cradle of advanced manufacturing.

Iron and steelmaking in Barrow ceased in 1963 and today, much of its industrial past is no longer evident, replaced by modern business and retail parks.

a special place to live or visit... so much to see and do

Furness Abbey Tel: 01229 823420 www.english-heritage.org.uk/ daysout/properties/ furness-abbey www.facebook.com/ furnessabbey The vast, red sandstone ruins of the abbey of St. Mary of Furness lie within the deep, wooded valley of Bekansgill. The Abbey was founded in 1127 on land granted by King Stephen to the Abbot of Savigny in Normandy. Furness Abbey was the first and most important foundation of the Savigniac Order in the British Isles. In 1147, the entire Order of Savigny was incorporated into the larger and more powerful Cistercian Order. After some initial resistance, Furness accepted Cistercian rule in 1150.

The Cistercians, or ‘White Monks’ as they were known,

had a reputation for austerity and seclusion from secular life. Benefiting from the architectural and agricultural abilities of the Cistercians, the power and wealth of the Abbey grew. The Abbey managed granges throughout the North West of England and had land holdings in the Isle of Man and Ireland. Piel Castle was built to protect its trade routes and nearby Dalton Castle was constructed to serve as courthouse and dungeons. By the time of the Dissolution of the Monasteries in 1537, Furness was the second richest Cistercian abbey in England after Fountains.

Furness Abbey, managed

by English Heritage, is open to the public. Recent conservation work has taken place to stabilise the walls of the Presbytery. Medieval masons had used large pieces of oak in the foundations which, after 500

years, had started to give way. During the repair work, archaeologists discovered the grave of an abbot complete with crozier and gemstone ring. These internationally significant finds are on display in the abbey visitor centre.

Barrow-in-Furness Town Hall Tel: (01229) 876543 www.barrowbc.gov.uk/ visitors/tourism-and-travel

Barrow’s impressive Town Hall is at the heart of the town and its clock tower can be viewed from almost anywhere in the vicinity.

Built from local red sandstone, it was formally opened in 1887 and represents the height of Barrow’s Victorian development. W.H. Lynn designed the building in the style known as Modern Gothic.

www.visitbarrow.org.uk I 19

The richest detail of the interior can be found in the oak panelled Council Chamber and the Queen’s Hall, with its dazzling stained glass. Today, all of Barrow Borough Council’s offices are still located in the Town Hall.

Dock Museum Tel: 01229 876400 Email: d ockmuseum@ barrowbc.gov.uk www.dockmuseum.org.uk Open Wednesday - Sunday 11am – 4pm.

Last admission 3.30pm The Dock Museum is a unique building in a stunning

coastal setting built within a Victorian dry dock. The original Victorian graving dock provides an impressive backdrop to the galleries.

This exciting and innovative museum traces the history of Barrow from a 19th century hamlet to a major shipbuilding industry, including the story of the people who brought about such a change.

The Museum incorporates displays, filmshows, dressing up and a stunning collection of ship models.

The discovery of the Furness Viking Hoard has led to the creation of a

20 I www.visitbarrow.org.uk

brand-new gallery, showcasing the history of humans in Cumbria starting with cave finds, treasures from the Bronze and Iron Age, Viking domination and ending with the Norman conquest. A Viking longboat completes the gallery!

There are events throughout the year offering a wide range of challenging activities for all ages designed to encourage learning through play and handson creativity. In addition, a gallery for temporary exhibitions hosts a full and vibrant programme.

For more information and Museum opening hours please see www.dockmuseum.org.uk The landscaped site has an exciting children’s playground. Children will love learning while they play, while adults will be amazed at this unique building and the fascinating story it tells.

Admission is free. Facilities include The Bridge Café, a family friendly café which offers a tempting selection of teas, coffees, light snacks, lunches and wonderful homemade cakes; gift shop; lift to all floors and free coach parking.

The Castle served as a courthouse and dungeon for Furness Abbey.

Dalton Castle (National Trust) Market Place, Dalton-in-Furness LA15 8AX www.nationaltrust.org.uk/ main/w-daltoncastle The castle is opened by the Friends of Dalton Castle on Saturday afternoons from Easter to end of September.

The castle was built in stages between the 1330s and 1350s, perhaps in response to a series of Scottish raids earlier that century.

After the Dissolution of the Monasteries in 1537, the Castle passed through several hands, eventually resting with the Dukes of Buccleuch. It was the 8th Duke who presented the Castle to the National Trust in 1965.

A National Trust guidebook is available and there is an exhibition celebrating the life and work of George Romney, the renowned portrait artist, who is buried in nearby Dalton Church.

It changed several times before undergoing its most radical alteration in 1856.

Group bookings are welcomed and guided tours are available on request. All areas of the Museum are wheelchair accessible and there is a wheelchair loan facility.

Offshore islands and a wonderful coastline

Walney Island

With offshore islands and beautiful beaches, the coast is Barrow’s playground.

From horse back riding along the miles of sandy beaches and greenways to bird sanctuaries and nature reserves it is a haven for those searching for peace and tranquillity and a great quality of life.

With a population of over 10,560, Walney is the Borough’s largest offshore island. There is a road bridge across Walney Channel on the leeward side connecting it to the mainland. The centre swathe of the island is the most densely populated whilst Nature reserves cover the north and south tips of the island.

Quirky facts: Did you know there are 11 Islands of Barrow?

• Barrow Island

• Sheep Island

• Piel Island

• Walney Island

• Foulney Island

• Roa Island

• Dova Haw

• Headin Haw

• St. Michael’s*

• Little Foulney* • Ramsey Island* *shown on Admiralty Charts

22 I www.visitbarrow.org.uk

The village of North Scale is the northern most settlement, whilst the ancient village of Biggar is in the south. The western side of the island has excellent sandy beaches and views across the Irish Sea towards the Isle of Man. South End Caravan and touring park is located near South Walney Nature reserve and the Oyster farm, Walney Airfield is located in the north adjacent to North Walney Nature Reserve.

Piel Island Steve Chattaway, King of Piel on 07516 453784 www.pielisland.co.uk

The island has a castle, pub, bunkhouse, public conveniences, a jetty and offers camping.

Once the last bastion of defence from the marauding Scots, Piel Castle (English Heritage www.english-heritage.org. uk/visit/places/ piel-castle) is now in ruins, with only the King of the island and inquisitive visitors for company. Built around 1327, it was mainly used as a fortified warehouse for the storage of grain and wool.

In 1487 it was invaded by Lambert Simnel and over 2,000 of his followers, on the start of their abortive attempt to seize the crown from Henry VII. The only means of access is via the Roa Island ferry service or by guided walk across the sands from Snab Point at low tide.

Once on the island, ramble through the ruins of the castle, soak up the unique island vibe, and explore the historical links between the island and Furness Abbey.

The Cabinet of Curiosities and Seldom Seen exhibition in the Ship Inn is an interesting interpretation of the uniqueness of this place.

The Ship Inn public house, a Grade II listed building, has been extensively refurbished and restored and now offers bed and breakfast accommodation.

The Landlord of the pub has the honorary title “King of Piel Island” and the current “King”, Steve Chattaway, was crowned on 14 September 2008. This was filmed by ITV and featured on the programme “Islands of Britain”.

In winter, thousands of wading birds, geese and ducks make their southward journey to the reserve from Scotland, Scandinavia and the high Arctic. Other birds which breed on the reserve include ringed plover, oystercatcher and eider.

exploring the borough

The opportunity to visit some of the charming places in the rest of the Borough of Barrow-in-Furness should not be missed.

Dalton-inFurness Dalton-in-Furness is an ancient town that can trace its origins back to the Bronze Age. However, it was only after the establishment of Furness Abbey in 1127 that Dalton grew in importance to become the region’s administrative and commercial capital.

After the Norman Conquest, part of the ‘forest of Furness’ was given to Savigny Abbey in Normandy to develop a new monastery. The monks chose the sheltered valley of Bekansgill (‘Vale of Nightshade’) to build their abbey.

By the early 13th century, Furness Abbey was the second largest and wealthiest monastery in England, controlling

36 I www.visitbarrow.org.uk

much of Low Furness, with land holdings stretching to Windermere and even as far as Borrowdale. The Cistercian monks were industrious and innovative, establishing granges (farms) to produce wool and grain for trade.

They reclaimed land from the sea on Walney Island and drained marshes at Leece and Roosecote for sheep grazing.

As well as farming, the monks were also involved in iron ore mining and smelting, fishing and salt manufacture.

In the early 14th century, Furness suffered two devastating raids by the Scots – one led by Robert the Bruce. As a result, a number of fortified buildings were erected, including Dalton Castle, to provide protection against marauding Scots.

The town of Dalton was well established by this time, prospering in its role as the capital of Furness. In 1239 the town was granted a charter to hold a weekly market and an annual fair, which attracted more trade and commerce into the town. For over 400 years there was a symbiotic relationship between the abbey and its secular town: Dalton offered goods and services and in turn the abbey provided employment and justice.

But the Dissolution of the Monasteries in 1537 marked the end of Dalton’s reign as the region’s capital. As Furness Abbey was stripped of all its treasures, so Dalton suffered a corresponding loss of monastic protection

and patronage. Further disaster followed in 1631, when a plague wiped out over half the population.

For the next few centuries, Furness was an isolated northern outpost of Lancashire and left quietly undisturbed until the mid -19th century, when large deposits of high-grade iron ore began to be extracted on a large scale. Initially the ore was taken away by horse and cart but the arrival of the Furness Railway in 1846 facilitated transport and led to a huge increase in output. By the end of the 19th century, Dalton was a boom town as miners flooded into the area from all over the country. Between 1841 and 1871 the population tripled, leading to the rapid construction of terrace housing and an increase in shops, pubs and chapels catering for the miners.

small traditional town with many quaint shops strung out along Market Street, the town’s main thoroughfare.

There is a mix of traditional public houses, excellent restaurants and locally owned small shops and businesses. Charnley’s Home & Garden with its seasonal displays and café/ restaurant is situated close to the A590 on Ulverston Road.

South Lakes Safari Zoo Tel: (01229) 466086 The main tourist attraction to the town is South Lakes Safari Zoo. The zoo was established in 1994 on converted farmland on the A590 on the outskirts of Dalton. For more information visit the website www.southlakes safarizoo.com

Askam and Ireleth

Lindalin-Furness

Some delightful villages can be found to the north of Dalton. On the shores of the lovely Duddon Estuary lie the ancient port of Askam and Ireleth, two small villages of considerable character. The view point at Duddon Road, Askam offers panoramic views across the Duddon Estuary and Lake District Hills.

Lindal, which is just to the north of Dalton on the A590 is a quaint village set in the undulating countryside of Furness with a history allied to the mining activity in the area. Lindal is home to Wax Lyrical, the UK’s leading candle manufacturer and the most experienced producer of scented candles in Europe. The factory outlet is open to visitors. Adjacent is Chandlers, an award winning restaurant.
