About

Hawcoat and Newbarns form a largely residential ward on the northern edge of Barrow-in-Furness. The area is characterised by post-war housing estates, local shopping parades, and several primary schools serving the community. Open green spaces like Hawcoat Park provide recreational areas, with the park also hosting sporting facilities. The ward is bordered by the trunk road leading out of the town, marking a clear transition to more rural surroundings.

A notable local feature is the presence of the Furness Railway's historic Park South Junction within the area, a remnant of the extensive industrial rail network that once serviced the town's shipyards. The residential streets are generally quiet, with a mix of property types. The ward's community identity is anchored by its local services and the social hub of Hawcoat Park Sports Club.
