Devonshire Dock, Barrow-in-Furness


Devonshire Dock is the oldest of the four docks which make up the Royal Port of Barrow in Barrow-in-Furness. Construction of the dock started in 1863 , funded by the Furness Railway for iron ore export. Today, the dock remains a major industrial site, and is part of the BAE Systems Submarine Solutions shipyard, where nuclear submarines for the Royal Navy are constructed.
