That's Walney Island, which as you can see has been obliterated on this map...

On most other maps, the Jubilee Bridge carries the A590 road from Barrow-in-Furness to Vickerstown on Walney Island, but in the alternative version above it crosses to Vicarstown on Sodor. Vickerstown is named after the Vickers engineering company who bought The Barrow Shipbuilding Company in 1897, acquiring its subsidiary the Maxim Guns and Ammunition Company at the same time, to become Vickers, Sons & Maxim.

The yard at Barrow became the "Naval Construction Yard". In 1901 the Royal Navy's first submarine, Holland 1, was launched there.
