Dalton - in bygone days the capital of the Furness region - is 4 miles to the north east of Barrow in Furness, a town of some 60,000 plus. It formerly housed Vickers Armstrong, known world-wide during the late 19th and 20th centuries for its ship building. The latter end of the 20th century saw the demise of this industry along with the heavy industrial nature, of the town. A modified version of its past now sees BEA systems building nuclear submarines. This change has seen a significant reduction in the major employment of the region, for it now requires about one sixth of the personnel of past years. Barrow and the Furness District, is now seen as being where “The Lakes meet the Sea”
