The Dock Museum takes you on a historical tour of Barrow and the developments that have occurred in the town since the 19 th century. Before its progression to shipbuilding, the town was the biggest iron and steel producer in the world. The museum charts the changing face of the town with an audio-visual presentation in addition to the many exhibits. There is wheelchair access to all areas of the museum and the car parking facilities are ample. The museum is open all year round, although the times are slightly shorter in the winter months.
Admission is free.
