Barrow-upon-humber
Barrow upon Humber is a town and civil parish in North Lincolnshire, England. The population (including Barrow Hann) at the 2011 census was 3,022. The town is situated near the Humber, about 3 miles (5 kilometres) eastern from Barton-upon-Humber. The small port of Barrow Haven, 1.5 miles (2.4 kilometres) north, on the train line from Cleethorpes and Grimsby to Barton-upon-Humber manages wood from Latvia and Estonia. For many years the village sustained a mummers troupe known as the Plough-Jags. Such performers were related to the festivities of Plough Monday which noted the opening of the farming year. There are two public houses: the Royal Oak and the 6 Bells. A 3rd pub, the Red Lion, positioned on the reduced High Street, changed to a residence in the very early 20th century. John Harrison Church of England Primary School is positioned on North Street. Integrated in the last years of the 19th century as well as previously named Barrow upon Humber Church of England Primary School, it was renamed in honour of John Harrison, developer of marine chronometers, that lived in the village up until 1736. The village is the house of Barton-upon-Humber Rugby Union Football Club, whose clubhouse gets on Mill Lane. Barrow Bowls Club is a small but friendly lawn bowls club, playing in 3 leagues from Might to September. The club house is located at the end of Thorngarth Lane and also is very closely related to Barrow Sports and Fitness Centre, which includes squash courts, snooker tables as well as a bar.
