In the mid-late 70s I spent many hours in Barrow Library, especially the Reference Library. I used the space for sometimes doing homework (Grammar School Boy) but mainly I remember just ploughing through huge numbers of books. Reference materials were upstairs, but ones for loan from downstairs. The library was an oasis of calm and knowledge and, as I remember it, just a great space, and I especially loved the ship models that were upstairs.
where did all the artifacts go from the upstairs show cabinets?
That's a good question. I'm pretty certain some of the ship models were transferred to the Dock Museum and I seem to recall seeing some when I last visited the museum. Hopefully someone from the library will pick up on your question and give you a fuller answer, as I'm pretty certain only some of the things in the show cabinets were moved there.
