Abstract:		 The property is Grade II Listed and form part of a row properties of similar design including the Duke of Edinburgh Hotel and No. 102. Abbey Road developed relatively late in the history of Barrow, largely as a result of the construction of the Central Station in 1882. The entire row of buildings was, according to a datestone on 104, built in 1875 and the plans were submitted in 1874. It is perhaps no coincidence that the designer of the Duke of Edinburgh and 104 was Howard Evans, who had become the borough surveyor in 1870. The original plans suggest that client was a Henry Whiteside, who may have been a corn dealer, but it is not known what the building was originally used for. The entire block was built by William Gradwell, who was heavily involved in property speculation during Barrow's early development and was closely connected to the syndicate of businessmen responsible for most of the town's major construction projects. Later users of 104 were very varied, but during the 20th century it was dominated by Cooke and Sons furnishers, hence it became known as 'Cooke's Buildings'. It is evident that the buildings initial arrangement was substantially changed at an early date, with a large extension to the rear of the building and general reorganisation. Subsequently, extensive modern alterations were also made, which unfortunately led to the loss of many remaining original features and addition of numerous internal partitions, although much of the external façade remained intact.
