Google Maps reveals how much Barrow has changed over the years

We've taken a trip down memory lane using pictures from Google Street views from yesteryear and the present day.

Take a scroll through our gallery below to see Barrow as you remember it.

This picture shows an area of North Road in 2009 before it became the home of a popular eatery.

Here is the same site pictured in May 2022. It is now home to family pub and restaurant chain Brewers Fayre.

Pictured here is a piece of land on Ironworks Road in April 2009 which has since changed from a car park to a popular hotel chain.

The area has undergone a transformation with a Premier Inn opening here in 2014. This picture was taken in 2022.

BAE Systems is deep-rooted in the heart of Barrow with many men and women proud to be part of the creation of the town's greatest export - nuclear submarines.

This picture taken in 2009 shows part of the Devonshire Dock Hall (DDH) building.

Cut to the present day, and the site is undergoing an expansion, as can be seen in this picture from May 2022.

In 2018, a former police station was demolished to make way for a 127-bedroom hotel.

It was the home of Barrow Police for decades after being built in 1958.

This picture was taken in 2009.

The 127-bedroom Holiday Inn Express hotel began to welcome guests in December 2019.

This picture was taken in 2022.

In 2017, this picture was taken of a section of Portland Walk in Barrow's town centre.

In the picture we can see Debenhams, Topshop and Officers Club - with River Island just out of shot.

Google Streetview does not have an up-to-date picture but if it did it would show that each of these businesses have since left Barrow's high street and are boarded up.Portland Walk now (Image: Newsquest)
