Barrow-upon-humber

Barrow upon Humber is a village and civil parish in North Lincolnshire, England. The population (including Barrow Hann) at the 2011 census was 3,022. The village is positioned near the Humber, about 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 as well as Grimsby to Barton-upon-Humber handles wood from Latvia and Estonia. For several years the village sustained a mummers troupe known as the Plough-Jags. Such troupes were related to the festivities of Plough Monday which marked the opening of the agricultural year. There are two public houses: the Royal Oak and the 6 Bells. A third hostelry, the Red Lion, located on the lower High Street, reverted to a house in the 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 also formerly named Barrow upon Humber Church of England Primary School, it was renamed in honour of John Harrison, developer of naval chronometers, who stayed in the town up until 1736. The town is the house of Barton-upon-Humber Rugby Union Football Club, whose club gets on Mill Lane. Barrow Bowls Club is a tiny however friendly lawn bowls club, playing in three organizations from Might to September. The club residence lies at the end of Thorngarth Lane and is closely associated with Barrow Sports and Fitness Centre, which includes squash courts, snooker tables and a bar.
