Barrow contains the site of a late Anglo-Saxon monastery, which has been fully excavated. The location is now built over, but is marked by a plaque in the village. King Wulfhere gave land to Caedda (Saint Chad) in the 7th century at Ad Barvae (at the wood). It was on this site that the monastery was developed. The street adjacent to the monastery site is still known as St. Chad.
A windmill, known as Rigg's Mill, was located on the western side of the village but was largely demolished in 1928.
A limestone quarry existed on the south side of the village. Limestone was baked in retorts during the preparation of slaked lime. Remains of the retorts can be found on private property close to the quarry.
Ports on the Humber include the Port of Hull, Port of Grimsby, Port of Immingham, as well as lesser ports at New Holland and North Killingholme Haven. The estuary is navigable here for the largest of deep-sea vessels. Inland connections for smaller craft are extensive but handle only one quarter of the goods traffic handled in the Thames.
Humber Limited was a pioneering British motorcycle manufacturer. Humber produced the first practical motorcycle made in Britain by fitting one of their Humber bicycles with an E. J. Pennington two-horsepower motor in 1896.
Limited sales at the onset of the Great Depression in 1929 brought an end to their manufacture.
History
Early Humber motorcycles were built under licence to Phelon & Moore with a single-cylinder P&M engine and two-speed chaindrive transmission. Disputes over royalty payments and P&M's desire to make their own motorcycles led to this licence being terminated in 1905, so later models had Humber 496cc, 596cc and 746cc engines.
Success with one of Pennington's 340cc two-speed V twin engined Humbers in the first ever Isle of Man Junior TT in 1911 boosted the motorcycle sales.
The riding went through two name changes and several boundary changes during its lifetime. From 1955 to 1963 it was known as York—Humber and existed mostly on the east side of the Humber River. From 1963 to 1987 it was known as Humber, and in 1987 it was changed to Etobicoke-Humber. From 1963 onwards it was mostly on the west side of the river.
A BIZARRE British Tribute to the USA! The Humber Super Snipe
A British car made to emulate the best that America had to offer? Seems like a very strange thing to do, after all European roads were not really suited to car from the USA. But The Rootes group, through their Humber subsidiary decided to do exactly that and make an excutive car, styled and inspired from the metal of Detroit!

Humber Sceptre
When Humber made cars, they made them to have impact; the impact being a lasting impression of quality, fine engineering and reliability and this Sceptre is still delivering those qualities decades after first purchase.
But where did it all begin?
The Sceptre was introduced in 1963, and it was initially meant to come in as a replacement for the Rapier. Rootes were really good as a company at keeping everything moving technology wise and you rarely find they sit on anything for too long; with regular adjustments and model upgrades. However, something curious must’ve happened, because instead of bringing this in to replace the Rapier, it ran alongside it in the model line up - with the Rapier continuing in production until 1967.
Although you’ll often hear of the Super Minx when people discuss these cars, because the MK1 Sceptre is based on the Super Minx, although it’s not just a lazy rebadging like you’d see other manufacturers do, because the Sceptre is unique in many ways including the roof, the glass and the rear and upper bodywork which is unique to this car.
The car was positioned in the Rootes line up at the top of the mid range line up of cars and on a wider automotive landscape, it was priced at around £1,000. This meant it was considerably pricier than a Ford Consul Cortina GT but Rootes didn’t think they were pitching to the same customer. Rootes considered the customer to be somebody who might consider an MG Magnette or perhaps had outgrown their beloved Alpine.
In dealerships and in advertisements at the time, The Humber Sceptre was billed by Rootes as a way to enjoy a new kind of motoring. The sceptre was said to have it all - it was the car which was superbly equipped, it was a compact sports saloon with exciting performance and design and best of all, it was built and finished to the highest Humber standards of comfort and quality.
But what does this mean when it drills down into what the car offers to the motorist?
Well, the car had an enviable line up of standard features which many other popular British marques of the era were asking customers to pay extra for. The brochures of the time highlighted important key details such as:
- Diaphragm spring clutch for less pedal effort.
- Overdrive as standard, which I tell you about later in the video
- Built in heating and ventilation - you might consider this an essential, but even Morris had customers paying extra into the 60s for this basic function
- An elegant suspension system for a masterly ride, or in tech terms, fully independent front suspension employing coil springs and swinging links. Suspension control by Armstrong telescopic shock absorbers housed neatly down the centre of each coil spring. To rear, semi elliptic leaf springs with Armstrong double acting telescopic shock absorbers to allegedly, maintain adequate control in all weather conditions.
- A really key point actually which I think supersedes many of the extras, there are no greasing points, a huge plus point for a car of this area.
- Steering - a high efficiency steering unit for precision control, or for those who want more tech and less marketing speak, it’s Burman recirculating ball type on this one. It’s three piece symmetrical track-rod linkage with nylon inserts and sealed ball joints - which again - needed no regular greasing like many other counterparts on the market.
- Wider opening doors and child locks - perfect for comfort and also, for getting children in and out and ensuring they don’t eject themselves on the way to the chosen destination
- Plus many more brilliant features I discuss later in the video!
At the start of this walk around, I spoke of Rootes never resting too long in one place and it won’t surprise you with that knowledge to know the MK1 was only on sale for two years before being replaced by the MK2 in 1965; although it sold quite as many units as the MK1 - so maybe it’s not just me who prefers the early styling!
Now this is a special car, so who owns it? Well, the owner Brian was unable to come on camera for today’s video so instead Kev tells us a little of the sceptre magic - he’s worked on this one for 20 years so has a particular love for it!

Barrow contains the site of a late Anglo-Saxon monastery, which has been fully excavated. The location is now built over, but is marked by a plaque in the village. King Wulfhere gave land to Caedda (Saint Chad) in the 7th century at Ad Barvae (at the wood). It was on this site that the monastery was developed. The street adjacent to the monastery site is still known as St. Chad.
A windmill, known as Rigg's Mill, was located on the western side of the village but was largely demolished in 1928.
A limestone quarry existed on the south side of the village. Limestone was baked in retorts during the preparation of slaked lime. Remains of the retorts can be found on private property close to the quarry.
