Ah, Green Road! Nice

That’s a great road to drive !.. super scenic with epic vistas .. clarksons favourite driving road he said once 🤷‍♂️

Surely that should read "longest cul-de-sac"

Now that is a great road. 👍 Been over many times.

Awesome submarine 👍

In the distance lies…"………infinity…..

Was this once a railway line, by any chance?

The streets look very quiet. Was this earlyish on a Sunday morning?

They should knock the whole of Barrow down and rebuild it. Most of it is falling down anyway@

Paul, I can’t believe that the road from Greenodd to Coniston hasn’t changed in 50+ years. It’s still the same narrow twisty POS it was in the 70’s🤦

My great-grandmother was born there...and it doesn't look much different from Bethlehem PA.

Spots a shit hole and once the ship yard winds down it will become a ghost town... so glad I left its a den of dick heads.

Barrow in Furness is not an exciting place. It should have been made into a seaside resort like Blackpool.

remember it well, travelling to & from barrow every weekend in 1977-78 :)

It makes me sad to realize that 3 buildings on this video have gone forever, the White House ripped down so a greedy t**t could sell more cars, the Travelers ripped down for a car park for the evening fail and soon to be built upon by the same greedy ba****d that turned the engineers into flats and the house of lords burnt out

Upsets me to see the place I’ve called home all of my life constantly under flack from everyone. Barrow might not be the best place around but if you’ve been here you know there is charm to this town. See it for what it is and not what it isn’t, ladies and gents.

I mean you could of showed the nice parts of barrow 😂👀

Barrow has been ruined by the local town planner who have allowed so many building ripped down for houses(Grammar School, Vickerstown etc) or converted into flats( most pubs in town center)

The train station looks the same. I had a boyfriend whom I met at Newbarns House. He lived in Workington. When we were older we met up again. (We lost touch once he left the home.) When I saw him off on the train, the guard would let us sit on it, if it was early at the station. Then he’d come & tell me when to get off as the train was going.

As a child, I grew up at number 2 Hertford Street. Coming from town, turn left on Ainslie Street. Go along & turn right on Oxford Street, then next left which I think is Lancaster Street. Marsh’s pop factory was on that street. (Sass was the favourite.) As you go along Lancaster Street, Hertford Street was on the right hand side. I’ve also lived at Blake Street not far from the town centre & on Mill Lane on Walney. There was a jewellers called Harts in Barrow market where I would buy necklaces. I also went to Blackmores on Dalton Road. They sold all sorts, but bikes were downstairs & record vinyls upstairs. I lived at a children’s home called Dunlop House based at the top of Abbey Road, when I was a child. I have also lived in Foster care. At 14 in November 1979, I went to Newbarns House children’s home. I left there 2 months later & lived with Mrs Sadler on Lesh Lane.

Who remembers the birds at night at Ramsden Square near the library? They were loud & scary & there was bird poop everywhere. It was like The Birds movie by Alfred Hitchcock.

I was born & brought up in Barrow, but haven’t been back since 2000. A lot has changed. I got lost lol 😂

That was a stupid idea, barricading Duke Street off near Cornwallis Street so you had to do a loop and come out again at the top of Dalton Road/Church Street, what was the point of that ?

Good to see the Olympic Chippy is still there, that's bee there as long as I can remember.

Thanks for the download though

Pity about the music: I would have preferred a running commentary

Went past my regular comic shop I buy all my books at

the bus station cafe behind the magic stick ( majestic hotel ) was a great place to eat back in 1977-78 :)

I'm from stoke on trent, i worked in barrow in 1977-78, at weldit engineering (anyone remember it?) building oil rigs on the narrow island at the bottom of ramsden dock road, i love barrow ever since, i visit regularly, yes, it is a run down area, but it has a special place in my heart. :)

That brings back a lot of memories. I paused it where the police station was. My dad was architect in the town hall and the police station was one of his old design jobs. Thay've just about all gone now.

Do around the newbarns area next time

12 years since I've been to Barrow, doesnt look that different to be honest.

I heard that if ever England needed an enama barrow in furness would be where it was shoved

Maybe in the dry lol

Sad to read so many negative comments as Barrow has given so much in the past, from its giant Iron & Steel furnaces, which built railways around the globe, to the many merchant, passenger and naval ships that contributed greatly to the prosperity and survival of this country in good times and bad. Former and existing Barrovians may well feel let down by the plight of a town that has given so much, but received so little in terms of inward investment in infrastructure and jobs.

I've drunk more.

Bikers have ruined Hawes. Not a nice place to turn up when its full of bikers on their powerful super bikes, treating the Dales like the Isle of Man TT.

Love bowness glad to see the only "flood" was a puddle on the lake road at the crossing down from the belsfield hotel....

That looked tough. You are braver than I.

Awesome video man, I love crib goch! Posting a video up soon myself :)

Rest In Peace Lemmy. Played live to the end knowing he was dying.

As an Ulverstonian who visits Barrow regularly for work I think it's not all that bad a place. For what it's worth my parents came from Dalton,Dan, and they never had a good word to say about Dalton either. So for anyone that wants to know the true meaning of "bleak and miserable" just spend a day in Dalton and I guarantee you will appreciate where you come from a whole lot more.

Very easy to see where some of the reports of UFO's might come from when you look at all the reflections on the windscreen.

puddle seen at 4:40

Beautiful :)

Breathtaking nonsene isnt it ?

Erm..right. Not very dramatic then.

No crashes shown in this video.

My parents came from there, they never had one single good thing to say about the place & watching this video I can understand why. It looks bleak & miserable....
