Posted 14 years ago, this footage is dated 14 years after Stan Laurel (Laurel & Hardy) would have left the town

Some lovely photos. Thanks. The sight of Frank Woods shop brought back memories. 😊

There's probably no maidens around because he's been through them all.

Looks amazing I cant wait to visit in April ❤️

Thank you sir.

Im struggling to finish this. I was born in 76 but it still gets me. Such a goddamned shame.

Happy memories of a happy childhood.

I think I saw the Royal Scotsman once in Askham, there stood a long green and gold steam train in Askham station, that must have been 1958/9

Paxton Terrace, the taxi house, the chinese restaurant and the ice cafe, those were the days of rock'n roll, the days of the Royal visit, life was just fine.

RIP Bernie

Aand the ferryman is captain of the Enterprise. . .

I walked the bay twice from Bare, a long way down the bay from Hest Bank. I had been a lifeguard during the summer and I knew the tides. I crossed with no difficulty each time. The second time with my brother in law, I was greeted by a copper with the words, "You f*****g idiot". Some one in the flats had reported our departure. Cedric Robinson was hovering in the background as we walked up the beach at Grange-over Sands. No doubt he he disapproved our venture. I found our 'reception' rude and unwarranted. Crossing the bay without the 'Queen's Guide' was obviously deemed to be an outrageous act of insubordination!

Average British island

Couldn't have moved the bloody mouse could you??? 😤

RIP Bernard

R.I.P

RIP Bernie

They soon put a stop to that nothings open anymore .

You like this place-Jesus where do you live now???

Unemployment, alcoholism, teenage pregnancy and suicide. God what a depressing place!

Mmmm overalls not so flattering 5m26s ....looks flattering to me!

I’ve watched this video so many times memories.

Love to you

Wow, that brought back memories - beginning with the credits! I was 14 at the time the film was made and Allan Hammersley and John Hawkins were among my teachers at the boys' Grammar School. Richard H Keay had a photography shop in Dalton Road and was a Churchwarden at St Matthews which my family attended. Donald Sartain was the Director/Manager at the lovely old Her Majesty's Theatre where I was enthralled by my first visit to a live theatre production as part of a school outing. It was Romeo and Juliet. Many thanks for posting!

And yet Eric Gill is now a piria

Her Majesty

How can I apply for landlord ???

He's talking about London not the UK. You might be interested in looking at how much tax revenue London contributes vs the rest of the UK.

I READ THEY WERE LOOKING FOR A NEW KING/QUEEN. :)

Danny Dyer should run that pub now....born for it.

Thanks Bernard. Lovely to see these pics. Left barrow in 1958! The big crane you used to see at end of street, my brother operated it for some years. Ossie Wood. Live in Norfolk. Veronica thank you. X

This was brilliant. Great to see Barrow through the years. Streets, buildings I never knew existed, seen for the first time. Almost like another town. Love this.

Love

Much appreciated.
