- Aerial footage of Barrow-in-Furness from 1970. Great views of the shipyards where many Royal Navy vessels were built during the 20th century... HMS Ajax of 'Battle of the River Plate' fame... HMS Dreadnought the nations first nuclear submarine... HMS Hermes flagship of the Falkland's task force... and currently home to BAE Systems Submarine Solutions and the yard that builds the Royal Navy's new Astute-class submarines.
I am from Barrow Island. On this video, I saw the house in which I was born, and where I was raised. (My father's ship put into Barrow during World War Two, and there he met my mother). He went on to work for Vickers. This video was like a piece of my own personal history. Thanks for showing it.
Vicker's! My father was a Brazilian navy's officer! I'd lived in Barrow in 1970. SAUDADESSSSSS!!!! I miss you Barrow-in- Furness! ❤
Proud to have learned skills in Vickers that were good enough to feed and clothe me for a lifetime!
You earned the money to feed and clothe yourself. You owe them nothing.
Brilliant aerial footage of 1970s Barrow-in-Furness looks like many industrial towns to be found in the Midlands and North-East England - all huddled around heavy industrial plants - almost a bygone period.
Proud to be a local lad
I loved that music since I was a kid, Jim shepherd playing the nightingale on cornet. I'm from just up the road from workington and have just moved to barrow, freaky 😊
Quite, Mr Chomerley-Warner!
Hi. Great footage. Can I ask where you got this footage from or the source of it.
I think the half built submarine shown on the slipway was the never completed 5th Polaris submarine HMSM Ramilies.
Where is Sodor in this?
Victorian industrial sites have to be preserved.
Why?
Any more footage ?

Oliver Cox lmfao yeah
If barrow is Furness real does the state the the north western Reagan is as well
This is where my Father came from...no wonder he left.
Mb= moronic bastard, the best town in the country, producing a product on par with the space shuttle, full of decent hard working people who's skills help to keep this country, and the rest of the world safe, I'd have a DNA test, because I'm not sure a Barrovian could produce a lump of detritous like yourself...........
@@Ian-pe1nl your deluded. I'm from barrow. Got out in 89. Everyone in Cumbria has the same thought on the dive. Believe me
@@LunchSays You left in 89 Is it a Coincidence that's when thing's started to get better........
