CONTRIBUTORS to Signal Film and Media s online exhibition on the Barrow Blitz have spoken about their pride of working on the project. The exhibition went live last week as part of the 80th anniversary of the heaviest bombing that hit Barrow during the Second World War, with the Blitz having a personal effect for one contributor. Jean said: My mother s family lived in Barrow and they were in the middle of the town and The Blitz was happening all around them. My mother lost one of her closest friends in the bombing on Vernon Street. I was born and grew up in Barrow and as a child there were some parts of buildings that were still missing from the war.
