Barrow-upon-humber
Barrow upon Humber is a village as well as civil parish in North Lincolnshire, England. The population (including Barrow Hann) at the 2011 census was 3,022. The town is positioned near the Humber, concerning 3 miles (5 km) east from Barton-upon-Humber. The tiny port of Barrow Haven, 1.5 miles (2.4 kilometres) north, on the train line from Cleethorpes and Grimsby to Barton-upon-Humber handles wood from Latvia and also Estonia. For several years the village supported a mummers troupe known as the Plough-Jags. Such troupes were related to the festivities of Plough Monday which noted the opening of the agricultural year. There are 2 pubs: the Royal Oak and also the Six Bells. A 3rd public house, the Red Lion, located on the reduced High Street, reverted to a house in the very early 20th century. John Harrison Church of England Primary School is situated on North Street. Integrated in the last decade of the 19th century as well as formerly named Barrow upon Humber Church of England Primary School, it was relabelled in honour of John Harrison, designer of maritime chronometers, who lived in the village until 1736. The town is the home of Barton-upon-Humber Rugby Union Football Club, whose clubhouse is on Mill Lane. Barrow Bowls Club is a small yet friendly yard bowls club, playing in 3 leagues from May to September. The club residence lies at the end of Thorngarth Lane and also is very closely related to Barrow Sports and Fitness Centre, that includes squash courts, snooker tables and a bar.
