Sparked a Memory for you?

If this has sparked a memory, why not share it here?

I was born in Barrow in 1954, later living in Dalton and Ulverston up to 1970. Many happy memories of a trip to the Ritz Cinema, but the one that stood out was Mutiny On The Bounty made in 1962 starring Marlon Brando & Trevor Howard. Probably my first visit. Also Abbey Road always appeared a grand entrance to the town a wide road and trees either side.
I'm looking for my relatives, the Westwood family; Barbara, Brian, Arthur. One of them or all of them lived on 1 Vulcan Road, in Barrow. I don't have any more details but I'm desperate to make contact. I would be grateful for any information regarding this family.
My late Father in Law Joeseph Edgar was a Fireman on the trains but moved away to Manchester around 1954. He lived in School Street Barrow when married around the period of 1946. Would anyone know of him or his family please..!
Can anyone please let me know when these cottages (huts) were distroyed and what is in their place now. My husband's Grandfather was born in one of them in 1877 and his birth was registered as born in 64 Brick Cottages. PatriciaMartin17@msn.com
