1939 Register at 9D Devonshire Buildings, Barrow-In-Furness. A fitters Labourer living with wife Jesse GE (as Gardener)
The Devonshire Buildings are two adjacent apartment buildings in the Barrow Island area of Barrow-in-Furness. They are both recorded in the National Heritage List for England as designated Grade II* listed buildings. Constructed in the 1870s for the Barrow Iron Ship Building Company to house local shipyard workers, the buildings are nearly symmetrical and have octagonal towers at the end of each block. The buildings are similar to tenements in Glasgow, Scotland, which were inspired by housing in France. . Similar tenements exist across Barrow Island, with those on Barque, Brig, Sloop and Steamer Streets also having listed building status. The Vickerstown estate on Walney Island was constructed between 1898 and 1901 in an effort to relieve overcrowding in the Barrow Island tenements, which had already seen some shipyard workers forced to live aboard the liner SS Alaska, which was moored in Barrow docks.
1966 Died Barrow
