Barton Ropewalk

The Ropewalk in Barton upon Humber has been a deeply passionate project of the Proudfoot Groups for over 12 years, in which we have helped restore and create an enormously prestigious & popular events location.

The building which was purchased along with the site for our Barton store, was a circa 1,200 ft. long Grade II Listed Ropewalk which has now been reinvented from a unemployed, disused, dilapidated factory building into the stunning center it is today.

Adjacent to The Ropewalk, the Proudfoot Group developed a promenade, which runs the full length of the building and is 60ft wide. Once the promenade was completed the Proudfoot Group handed over a permanent right of way to the local authority for the public to enjoy this unusual walk along the side of the famous Hallmark Rope Factory to the Humber Bridge.
