NEW YEAR, NEW CONNECTIONS

There is a small chance that roads, bridges and railway lines could close, with delays and cancellations to bus, train, ferry services and flights During these boom years, Ramsden proposed building a planned town to accommodate the large workforce which had arrived. There are few planned towns in the United Kingdom, and Barrow is one of the oldest. Its centre contains a grid of well-built terraced houses, with a tree-lined road leading away from a central square. Ramsden later became the first mayor of Barrow, [26] which was given municipal borough status in 1867, and county borough status in 1889. [27] The imposing red sandstone town hall, designed by W.H. Lynn, was built in a neo-gothic style in 1887. [28] Prior to this, the borough council had met at the railway headquarters: the railway company's control of industry extended to the administration of the town itself.
