50 years of Barrow market as plans for its future develop
Barrow’s indoor market is celebrating its golden anniversary.
Exactly 50 years ago to the day, the Duke Street building was officially opened by The Queen.
Now, the market is at the centre of a major bid to the Government’s £4.8 billion Levelling Up Fund which aims to support town centre and high street regeneration as well as supporting local transport projects, cultural and heritage assets.
If successful, the ambitious proposal – under development by Barrow Borough Council – would allow plans to transform the market building to go ahead.
The scheme would see the ground floor of the building regenerated to include new stall spaces, a foodhall and soft play area for children, a shared entrance with The Forum and repairs to the roof.
