More about this scene

Trams are no longer crossing the bridge at the time of this photograph, but cyclists and pedestrians are well in evidence, and cars have now started to appear. In the background, the Town Hall dominates the skyline. Today, there are no longer trees lining the street, and the bridge itself was replaced in 1968.

I remember that once a year in the summer holidays they chose a different king of the island.They sat him on a regal high backed chair and crowned him by tossing a bottle of beer over his head.All that to take on the caretaker duties of the island.for one year.
My grandfather was born in Barrow around 1886 in the Roose area to a Sarah Elizabeth Bracewell, within 2 months she had left him and disappeared leaving him with a family called Martin who bought him up. Can anyone add anything so I can find out where I came from!!
