A MAN accused of making more than 200 indecent images of children has appeared in court.

John Ward is alleged to have made 209 indecent images of children on October 24.

The 62-year-old, of Sutherland Street in Barrow, did not enter a plea to the three charges he faced at South Cumbria Magistrates' Court.

He is due to appear for a hearing at Preston Crown Court on February 4.

The defendant has been bailed ahead of that date.
