BERNARD DEVLIN, BARROW AT WAR,

BARROW AT WAR,

BARROW HAD ITS FAIR SHARE OF BOMBING DUREING THE WAR, BEING A SHIPBUILDING TOWN AND LARGE PRODUCERS OF IRON AND STEEL, THE WORST EFFECTED AREAS WERE HINDPOOL, NEWLAND STREET, WAS DESTROYED FAMILIES WERE WIPED OUT, ALSO SALTHOUSE AREA OF THE TOWN, WERE A YOUNG CHILD WAS THE FIRST FATALITY OF THE BOMBING,

I DID THIS LITTLE FILM IN TRIBUTE TO THE BARROW PEOPLE AND HOW THEY STOOD TOGETHER THROUGH HARD TIMES, AND WOULD LIKE TO SAY THANK YOU TO THEM ALL

WE OWE YOU SO MUCH

A SLOW DRIVE WALNEY CHANNEL, TO NORTH SCALE

This film i did was my memories, of the past skyline, of our industrial revolution, as i remember it as a child, gone are the large chimneys that once adourned the skyline, looking over towards the old slagbank, our steel foundries, that was once famous all over the world,
for its steel, and shipbuilding, are just a bygone memory of our minds, i feel with great sadness in my heart, that our council, did not and should of left a monument in place, at these industrial sites , for our future generations, to look back on how Barrow in Furness was built and its beginnings ( just bittersweet memories )

kind regards
