The Rope Walk

The Ropewalk Museum and arts centre is housed in the Grade II listed building which stretches a quarter of a mile along the length of Barton Haven and is one of the longest pantiled buildings in the country
Hall’s Barton Ropery exported its ropes throughout the world and played an integral part in both the First and Second World War efforts, specifically supplying the United Kingdom and United States of America naval fleets with important ropes and shipping warps. The Ropewalk Museum presents a wonderful insight into the life and conditions of the Ropery workers and their families and what it was really like to be a part of an industry that has served to become central to Barton upon Humber’s rich heritage.
