The club has spent most of its time in premises at the White Swan hotel in Barton, although the membership numbers are not as high as they were in the 70s & 80s, the club is still going strong
In its forty years history the club has always been outstanding in its racing achievements, racing distances from fifty to five hundred miles into France, and no more so then when Gordon King won certificates two years running in the British Barcelona Clubs races from Spain, flying a distance of almost 1000 miles.
The club has a very impressive array of trophies that are competed for every year,
The club would welcome new members, and would make them very welcome.

Barton-upon-Humber or Barton is a town and civil parish in North Lincolnshire, England. It is situated on the south bank of the Humber Estuary, and at the end of the Humber Bridge. It lies 46 miles (74 km) east of Leeds, 6 miles (10 km) south-west of Hull and 31 miles (50 km) north north-east of the county town of Lincoln. Other nearby towns include Scunthorpe to the south-west and Grimsby to the south-east.

Geography

The Barton – Cleethorpes branch line (opened 1849) via Grimsby terminates at Barton-on-Humber station. The A15 passes to the west of the town cutting through Beacon Hill, and has a junction with the A1077 Ferriby Road to South Ferriby. The B1218 passes north-south through the town, and leads to Barton Waterside. Kimberly-Clark had a factory on Falkland Way close to the railway, known the Barton Plant; this area is known as the Humber Bridge Industrial Estate.

Barton is on the south bank of the Humber estuary and is at the southern end of the Humber Bridge. The Viking Way starts near the bridge.[1]

History

Anglo-Saxons

Church of St Peter Barton upon Humber.

St Peter's church has a Saxon tower. An Anglo-Saxon inhumation cemetery at Castledyke South, in use from the late fifth or early sixth century until the late 7th century, was investigated and partially excavated 1975-90: the skeletal remains of 227 individuals were identified, including one who had undergone (and survived) trepanning.[2] The church was reopened in May 2007 as a resource for medical research into the development of diseases, and ossuary, containing the bones and skeletons of some 2,750 people whose remains were removed between 1978 and 1984 from the 1,000 year old burial site, after the Church of England made the church redundant in 1972.[3][4][5] The significance of the human remains lies in their representing the pathology of an isolated community over the period ca.950-ca1850. An excavation report on one of England's most extensively investigated parish church, including a volume on the human remains, was published in 2007.[6][7]

A ferry to Hull began in 1351, being granted by Edward II running until 1851, but this was superseded by a ferry at New Holland which began in 1820.[citation needed]

The former head office of Elswick Hopper under conversion into apartments (2006)

In 1880 Frank Hopper started a bicycle repair business in a former blacksmith's shop in the town. He soon began manufacturing bicycles, and after buying the Elswick Cycle Company of Elswick, Tyne and Wear in 1910, and developed the renamed Elswick Hopper into a major manufacturer. Listed on the London Stock Exchange from 1930, the company had expanded into a diverse engineering, manufacturing and distribution conglomerate by the late 1970s. After moving residual UK bicycle manufacture to Brigg in the late 1980s, the now renamed Falcon Cycles division was sold to investors in the early 1990s. Elswick plc itself was sold in 1994, at which point it closed its offices in the town. The former head office at the junction of Brigg Road and Holydyke was converted into apartments in 2006. The Barton Racing Pigeon Club as we know it today, was formed around 1971.

Churches

There are two churches in Barton-upon-Humber, St Peter's and St Mary's, located only about five hundred feet apart. St Peter's is a large, mostly Anglo-Saxon church and predates St Mary's — which may have originated as a chapel on the original market place, enlarged and increasing in importance as the town's trade thrived in the 12th and 13th centuries.[8][9][10][11]

Education

Baysgarth School,[12] is a comprehensive school for ages 11–18 on Barrow Road. There are also three primary schools, St Peter's Church of England], on Marsh Lane;[13] the Castledyke Primary School,[14] (formerly Barton County School) on the B1218, and the Bowmandale primary school,[15] in the south of the town.

Barton Grammar School,[16] which opened in 1931, used to be on Caistor Road. Henry Treece, the poet and author, was a teacher at the Grammar School.[citation needed]

Industry

For 20 years, Barton-upon-Humber was home to a 750,000 square foot site for Kimberly-Clark. The site closed in March 2013 and more than 200 jobs were lost. The future of the site still remains uncertain. [17]
