When I was little, I remember going to a florists in the Mall which I believe was called "The Flower Bowl" - For the princely sum of £1.00, I was able to buy a rose with some artificial "fern" for my mum - Well, I say "princely", but in hindsight, that was probably pretty steep for around 1982 !
I moved away from Barrow in 1992 and came back in 2011. Interesting to see how I left it and how it has changed since then. Even in the last 10 years there have been a lot more changes with the new Holiday Inn being built, the new Alfred Barrow health centre and now the Atkinson Centre being demolished.
@10:11 - A long time ago that was a shop called "THE TOY BOX", I remember my mum taking me in there when I was little.

Bet it was a shock to the system when you came back on 2011, totally different
The first bit was Risedale School, I think also Abbey Baths just after it had been pretty much demolished is on here too.
AHH the year of the great depression when the yard layed off thousands The next four years were dreadful
@3:39, what's that shop with the green frontage next to the bingo hall?
