More about this scene
Shipbuilders swarm across the Walney bridge from the dockyards at the end of a wortking day. It resembles scene from Lowry. A crane at Vickers dockyard can be seen in the distant background. Protected by the enclosing reef of Walney Island, Barrow flourished as a major shipbuilding centre in the 19th and early 20th centuries.
