Relax into 2050 - Dome Soundscape by Charley Bright

In 1911 a fabulously rousing song was written in Barrow-in-Furness that imagined a bright future for the airships being developed in the town at the time. It describes a passenger service from "Walney-on-the-Sea" offering exhilarating day trips to Belfast and Blackpool. It's still a tantilising idea so thanks to a loan from The Dock Museum visitors can enjoy a recording of this uplifting tune.
