Protestors have taken to the streets over plans to build a new £2.5million mosque dubbed a 'monstrosity' on the edge of the idyllic Lake District.
The controversial South Lakes Islamic Centre has already been green-lit by planning bosses - sparking fierce opposition locally.
The scheme was submitted by a group of Muslim doctors at the General Hospital in Barrow-in-Furness, who said the closest place to worship was in Lancaster some 50 miles away.
But the bid has divided the community, with demonstrators both for and against the proposal seen clashing outside the construction site of the new Islamic centre.
Tensions have been steadily rising in Dalton-in-Furness, with protestors from each camp seen standing opposite one another, waving flags and chanting slogans.
