Barrow-In-Furness

A statue of Barrow-born footballer Emlyn Hughes in Abbey Road. I honestly didn't feel it looked much like him. It stands immediately outside an office block, also named after him. The statue was unveiled in April 2008. 

The huge BAE Systems building at the Dockyard dominates the skyline for miles around. On a clear day it can even be seen across the bay in Morecambe. Since the vast Devonshire Dock Hall was completed in 1986, it has become one of the few shipyards in the world capable of designing and building nuclear submarines.
Black Coombe in the distance. It is 1,970 feet high at it's highest point. (Pic - Lynda Braithwaite).
Meanwhile, just walking by .......
 Coronation Garden in Abbey Road.
The crown and the litter bin!
Stone cushions on the wall. 


The former Oxford Chambers buildings. I wonder what the central Cigar Depot was?
