Have
you ever thought about researching the history of local sport and leisure? At
Barrow Archives and Local Studies Centre you will find a wealth of sources
relating to the growth and development of sporting activities from Victorian
times including football, rugby, cricket and athletics. In our local studies
library we have a variety of publications which chart the history of Barrow AFC
and Rugby League as well as numerous archive collections that contain team
photographs and match programmes. Why not have a look through a photograph
album belonging to the ‘The Old Barrovians’ Association’.
This amazing source
comprises photographs of prefects, sports teams, the choir and other
recreational activities, 1944-1968. Each individual person in the photographs
has been named. This might be a useful starting point for planning a long overdue
reunion!
