About

Ormsgill and Hindpool are two adjoining wards in Barrow-in-Furness within the Westmorland and Furness authority. The area combines residential streets with pockets of industry; many terraces were built during the 19th-century shipbuilding expansion and remain in regular use. Ormsgill contains an established industrial estate where engineering and light manufacturing firms operate, supplying local maritime and energy sectors. Hindpool covers the edge of Barrow town centre and houses a mix of retail and civic services that serve neighbouring neighbourhoods.

Community life centres on local schools, shops and social clubs, with short journeys to workplaces across the town. Street patterns and property types reflect the town’s rapid growth in the Victorian era, visible in long runs of terraced housing and grid layouts. Public transport links connect the wards to other parts of Barrow, and the local economy continues to be shaped by firms and facilities that grew up alongside the docks and engineering works.
