BAE Systems Submarines' 25,000m² Devonshire Dock Hall indoor shipbuilding complex. This is the largest of its kind in Europe. This was used to construct the Astute-class submarine and is currently being used for the build of four Dreadnought-class submarines.

The swinging section of the Barrow Viaduct on the former Dublin, Wicklow and Wexford branch railway to New Ross and Waterford. This bridge over the tidal River Barrow has been retained for use as part of the New Ross Greenway.

Roosecote Power Station was a gas-fired and former coal-fired power station, in Barrow-in-Furness. The gas-fired station opened in 1991 and was the first CCGT power station to supply electricity to the United Kingdom's National Grid. It was mothballed in 2012 after a proposed biomass power station was cancelled and subsequently demolished in 2014-15. It was a Combined cycle gas turbine power station, fueled by gas from Centrica's Morecambe Bay field which is landed at nearby Westfield Point (left background). The station generated electricity using one 165 MWe Alstom GT13E gas turbine, its associated alternator having a terminal voltage of 15.75 kV, rated at 210MVA, from which the exhaust gases at 520C pass through one CMI heat recovery steam generator. Steam from this powers one 63MWe steam turbine, with its alternator having a terminal voltage of 12.5 kV. The station had a thermal efficiency of 49%. The electricity generated entered the National Grid, via a transformer, at 132 kV, where it powers part of the United Utilities (former NORWEB) network. By March 2012 it was reconfigured to allow operation in the Short Term Operating Reserve market. The plant employed 33 people.

The Nakhoda Ragam class is a class of corvette offshore patrol vessels originally built for the Royal Brunei Navy and named after the lead ship of the class, in turn named after a legendary Malay seafarer. Three vessels were built by BAE Systems Marine (now BAE Systems Maritime - Naval Ships). The ships were to be named: KDB Nakhoda Ragam KDB Bendhara Sakam KDB Jerambak The customer refused to accept the vessels and the contract dispute became the subject of arbitration. When the dispute was settled in favour of BAE Systems, the vessels were handed over to Royal Brunei Technical Services in June 2007. In 2013 it was announced that these warships had been sold to the Indonesian Navy and would soon be leaving Barrow where they have been laid up since 2007.
