The Dock Museum


The Dock Museum is located off North Road in Barrow-in-Furness, located by the Walney Chanel and to the north of the Royal Port of Barrow. The museum itself is built over a historic Graving dry dock which was built in 1872. The museum is free to visit and has galleries to explore the history of the people and industries of the Barrow-in-Furness area, with changing exhibitions, gift shop and café.
