St. George's Square, Barrow-in-Furness

St. George's Square, in Barrow-in-Furness, Cumbria, England is a public space that acted as the centre of the town during the late 19th century.

Amongst the other firsts for the town located in St. George's Square were the Lancaster Bank and Harbour Hotel Public House.

[1] Despite these buildings still standing, they have long served a different purpose (predominantly residential), as the town centre expanded northwards where land was more abundant.

[3] North Lonsdale served as the town's primary hospital for almost a century, with no less than seven wards including dozens of beds, an operating theatre, dispensary and laundry.

Other hospitals in the town during the 20th century were located in Roose, Risedale and Devonshire Road, the latter two specialising in maternity and infectious diseases respectively.
