A third pub, the Red Lion, situated on the reduced High Street, changed to a house in the very early 20th century. John Harrison Church of England Primary School is situated on North Street. Built in the last decade of the 19th century and previously called Barrow upon Humber Church of England Primary School, it was relabelled in honour of John Harrison, designer of marine chronometers, who stayed in the town until 1736.
