| The town of Dalton-In-Furness is situated near its much larger neighbour, Barrow-In-Furness,. Before the latter grew in importance as a centre of shipbuilding, Dalton was the premier town in the area. It had its own castle (tower), which was built in the mid 1300s. Restored in 1968-69 it is now owned by The National Trust. |

| The design on the end of the bench in the square caught my attention. |
Enjoyed seeing this set Mike, high quality images as usual. I love the dog poo sign! I'm always drawn to civic society and heritage plaques like the ones here, they usually have something of interest to photograph.
