More about this scene
Barrow has an excellent public library, and the building has the same appearance today. It is dated 1915, and it replaced the original library, which was housed in the Town Hall. Tram tracks go to the right of the statue of James Ramsden, and beside it there is a pole for the overhead wires. Only one car is to be seen.

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!!
