Biography

Harold Adrian Milne Barbour, son of J. D. Barbour of Lisburn, studied at Harrow School and Brasenose College, Oxford before assuming the directorship of a linen company in Glasgow at some time before 1911. He was elected as an Irish Unionist Party county councillor, then served in the Senate of Northern Ireland from 1921 to 1929.

Barbour was also active in the co-operative movement in Ireland, and his photographs of rural north and west Ireland in the early years of the 20th-century have been widely exhibited.
