Hindpool Retail Parks

[2] All of the retail parks were built on former industrial land that during the early to mid-20th century played a major role in not only Barrow's but the entire country's economy.

Cornerhouse Park and Cornmill Crossing were built on a site originally occupied by a cornmill and large interchange of the Furness Railway, while Hollywood Park was constructed on the southern perimeter of the former iron and steelworks which was operated by the Barrow Hematite Steel Company between 1859 and 1963 and was at one point the largest steelworks on earth.

This was to uncover the remains of a steam cornmill built in 1870, but demolished in 1972 following a fire in the building which had stood empty for five years.

[9] Also worth of note is the supermarket Morrisons which is located more or less next to Cornmill Crossing, only separated by Michaelson Road Bridge.

[11] JJB Sports moved to a larger premises in Cornmill Crossing in 2008, whilst the likes of Barrow Superbowl and Klaussner furniture fell victims to bankruptcy.

[11] Although not within Hollywood Park, the Wacky Warehouse and the Owl and the Pussycat Restaurant are located immediately north of the complex, and Premier Inn and Brewers Fayre to the west.
