Barrow upon Humber is a town and also civil parish in North Lincolnshire, England. The population (including Barrow Hann) at the 2011 census was 3,022. The town is located near the Humber, about 3 miles (5 km) east from Barton-upon-Humber. The small port of Barrow Haven, 1.5 miles (2.4 km) north, on the train line from Cleethorpes as well as Grimsby to Barton-upon-Humber deals with lumber from Latvia and also Estonia. For several years the town sustained a mummers troupe called the Plough-Jags. Such troupes were associated with the celebrations of Plough Monday which noted the opening of the agricultural year. There are 2 pubs: the Royal Oak as well as the Six Bells. A third hostelry, the Red Lion, positioned on the reduced High Street, reverted to a home in the very early 20th century. John Harrison Church of England Primary School is positioned on North Street. Built in the last years of the 19th century and also formerly called Barrow upon Humber Church of England Primary School, it was renamed in honour of John Harrison, designer of marine chronometers, who resided in the village until 1736. The town is the home of Barton-upon-Humber Rugby Union Football Club, whose clubhouse gets on Mill Lane. Barrow Bowls Club is a little but friendly yard bowls club, playing in three leagues from Might to September. The club home lies at the end of Thorngarth Lane and is carefully connected with Barrow Sports and also Fitness Centre, that includes squash courts, snooker tables as well as a bar.
