Barry, East end

Barry village is a linear settlement with settlement historically confined to the raised beach on the north side of the road, the southern area being marsh and subject to flooding from the Barry Burn. The burn is now controlled by high concrete banks and the new bypass, which runs through the mid ground of the photo across the fields which still flood badly. The church spire to the left is Barry Parish Kirk which was originally built as the 'Free Kirk'. To its right is the former manse. The building in the middle is Barry Primary School (due to close this year) which was a plash mill before it became the 'Free Church' school. The houses to the right and behind the school were built during the 1980's and those to the left, above the church, were built in the last couple of years on the site of 3 cottages.
