Allan specialises in local photographs in his work. This definately doesn't mean 'chocolate box'…read morepictures of The Lake District, but more imaginative work. He also does restoration work, whether it be on a photo which I got paint on whilst decorating, or a treasured photo from your family's history. It is also possible to get work framed here for a reasonable price. I love this shop, and normally buy something each time I go in! Allan no longer has the shop, because it gets in the way of taking his photographs. the web site and phone-number will still find him.

This is the most disgusting dirtiest barbers in barrow . If you don't want…read moreTrichophyton fungus then dont go to this shop . They have young lads that don't have a clue about hygiene and it causes scalp ringworm . And the lack of respect for customers is unreal. Don't waste your money on these clowns if you value your health

I sometimes work in Barrow, I've used Devros twice in the last couple of months. The first time my…read morebarber was a young chap with a luxuriant beard who gave me a fine haircut. The second time a heavily tattooed rather surly guy cut my hair. He was either unable, or couldn't be bothered, to make a decent job of a fairly simple cut. Personally, I'll find somewhere else if I need another haircut in Barrow. Three stars, all for the first barber

Top Ten Bingo is also on Hollywood Park, a big retail park just outside town which means it's easy…read moreto get to, close to the town centre and there's lots of parking space. It's not really much different from your average bingo hall - big, lots of seats and tables and a small snack bar selling chips, burgers, crisps and other such unhealthiness! I didn't like the lighting, it's that horrible harsh almost flourescent stuff - but apart from that it's clean and tidy. They do all the main stage bingo games, interval games, the National game etc, and also have lots of fruit machines/arcade games to play if you're a gambler! It is easily accessible to elderly/disabled people too, as it's all on one floor - I'm not a massive Bingo fan myself but I take my nanna who can't walk very far, and she always finds it easy enough to get around. You do have to be a member to play there, but membership is free. You can just join up on the night and they'll give you a temporary card to use until your new one arrives (which is good, as I know some other bingo clubs require you to register 24 hours before going). They have lost quite a few members due to the smoking ban which came in in July 2007, as they have no smoking shelter or even a covered roof outside the door to stand under - so people have to stand right outside in the pouring rain to smoke. However overall its a fun night out. For about £25 you'll get all your bingo cards and a few drinks, and maybe a chance to win big money!

The cottage museum is right across from the castle and you might miss it if you're not looking…read moreclosely! It's only open a few hours a day in the summertime, but if you're popping in for a castle tour, it's worth a visit. They usually have a lady inside dressed in period clothing, explaining how someone would have lived in a cottage that size. The museum is very tiny (watch your head, especially into the loft) and very hands-on. Every time I go, there are children in there looking totally enthralled, and the guide is always very good with them.
