Welcome to Barrow upon Soar
Barrow is a residential and industrial village between Leicester and Loughborough. It stands on the east bank of the River Soar and the chief industries have been hosiery and knitwear. Boating is also important and the riverbank provides mooring for many houseboats. The emblem of the village is a PLESIOSAURUS, after a fossil found here in 1851.
This website is created by representatives of many Barrow organisations and there are links to the websites of others.

John Nurse and Jane Tindle accepting the award for Community Engagement from Mike Jones, Chairman of Leicester County Council
This award is for the group that has been most active in working with their community to encourage them to get involved with the site.
Barrow won this award for another year running! This is due to the work that they have done to maintain a large number of editors in the community. They have also worked on several projects to gather even more content such as their historical images project.
