Barrow in F'urness, parliamentary and municipal
borough, township, and manufacturing and seaport
town, Dalton par., N. Lancashire, at the extremity
of the Furness peninsula, opposite the Isle of
Walney, 50 miles NW. of Liverpool by water and 267
miles from London by rail, 10,967 ac., pop. 47,259;
3 Banks, 3 newspapers. In 1848 it was a fishing vil. of
only 100 inhabitants ; and during 1871-81 its pop. had
increased by nearly 30,000. Its rapid growth is owing
to the abundance of hematite iron ore in the district,
about 500,000 tons of which are annually required for
the blast furnaces, and to the discovery of the Bessemer
process of manufacturing steel. It has immense iron
and steel works, large jute works, extensive shipbuilding
yards, and works for the making of railway waggons and
rolling stock. Cattle are imported from Belfast and
America, and timber, grain, and flour from Canada; iron
ore and pig-iron are largely exported. (For shipping
statistics, see Appendix.) The town, which is well
built, stands on what was formerly Barrow island; the
island was reclaimed from the sea, and the rest of the
channel converted into docks. B. returns 1 member;
it was made a parliamentary borough in 1885.
