Barrow in Furness

A simply magical coastal town in Cumbria, England. A place of outstanding natural beauty and lively cultural activity. The incredibly wide-ranging entertainment opportunities include: knife-fighting, shagging 15 year-old mothers, having your shoes nicked, skag, and much, much more.

Barrow in Furness

Ideally situated between Heysham Nuclear power station to the south, the faltering Sellafield Nuclear reprocessing plant to the north and The Nuclear Submarine Facility in the town centre. The background radiation gives Barrow a Mediterranean climate.
Residents of Barrow also enjoy 20% unemployment, chronic heroin addiction (dubbed Heroin Capital of the North), extreme violence and the highest rate of teenage pregnancies in Europe. Barrow can also proudly claim to have 3 of the its shore lines in Britains top 10 polluted beaches.

So why not try a place with a difference and try Barrow!

More from Urban Dictionary
West Midlands slang word for rockers, bikers, greasers etc. In the late 1980s it was used by the UK music press to refer to a specific scene centered around the bands Pop Will Eat Itself and Crazyhead. The term never found favour with readers of 'the inkies' (Sounds, Melody Maker and the still extant NME) and was soon dropped. Now often used in predominantly working-class areas of the midlands and the north to mean someone who listens to rock-derived music and/or dresses in a manner that suggests they affiliate themselves with rock music of some kind.
