Barrow-in-Furness (i)

Posted in Architecture, Trips at 22:40 on 18 November 2025

Last September we paid a visit to Barrow-in-Furness in Cumbria.

There are some fine buildings in the town, including the former Technical School, now the Nan Tait Centre, on Abbey Road.

    Just up Abbey Road from the Nan Tait Centre in Barrow was the Salvation Army Building:-
