'England at Leisure' - Exhibition at the Dock Museum

14th June - 4th September 2011 - Free Admission

Unveiled – a photographic exhibition from the National Monuments Record, the public archive of English Heritage.

The wonderfully evocative photographs in this exhibition explore leisure time from the 1860s up to the mid 20th century. From Victorian ladies with bicycles riding in Hyde Park to holidaying at an English seaside resort in the 1950s there is something for everyone.

Encompassing a mix of sports, traditional fetes and fairs, the new entertainment industry of cinema, theatre-going and other hobbies; these pictures show the new-found pleasures of a nation breaking free from the constraints of work and beginning to enjoy itself.

'Home Town' exhibition by John Duffin at the Dock Museum

John Duffin was born and raised in Barrow. He has now lived in London for over twenty years yet continues to paint and draw his hometown. He frequently returns to Barrow to make sketches and drawings of the area. His paintings are then completed in London and are a combination of memory, actuality and vision. This exhibition highlights John’s rare ability to be able to depict a place in just the right light, time of day or mood to capture its essence.
