Previously unseen photographs of Barrow Blitz to be shown in exhibition
Old Coppernob at Central Station Barrow. Damaged in the Blitz
Previously unseen photographs will be shown in an online photography exhibition to mark the 80th Anniversary of the Barrow Blitz.
The monumental event took place in 1941, with the heaviest bombing happening between May 3 and May 10.
Edward Sankey and his sons Raymond and Eric were prolific photographers of Furness, Cumberland, Westmorland and Lancashire.
The Sankey Family Photography Collection is a unique record of life in the area during the latter years of the 19th century and the early decades of the 20th.
