Askam-in-furness
Askam and Ireleth is a civil parish near to Barrow-in-Furness in the area of Cumbria, in North West England. Historically part of Lancashire, it originally included two separate coastal villages with different origins as well as histories which, in recent times, have actually combined to turn into one constant negotiation. The population of the civil church taken at the 2011 Census was 3,632. Ireleth has its beginnings as a mediaeval farming town clustered on the hill overlooking the level sands of the Duddon Estuary. Askam was developed adhering to the exploration of large amounts of iron ore near the village in the middle of the 18th century. The pair originally dropped within the borders of the Thousand of Lonsdale 'north of the sands' in the historic region of Lancashire, however complying with local government reforms in 1974 entered into the area of Cumbria, together with the remainder of Furness. The nearby River Duddon tidewater and surrounding countryside have actually made the location popular for its wild animals, while the towns' revealed position on the eastern financial institution dealing with the Irish Sea have encouraged the establishment of wind power generation, in the middle of local controversy.
