I really ought to frequent this thread more often.

Neither is Barry Island in actual fact. It was once, but since the docks were built (in the 1870's), it isn't.

Yeeees. ‘Barry Island’ was, but isn’t. ‘Isle of Dogs’ isn’t, but is so named.

when I was a teenage I once opened an OS map of the Wirral

and followed all the waterways - rivers and canals and the like

and discovered that technically it was possible to define The Wirral Peninsula as an island as you could not get to it without crossing water

I did have to follow the map quite a long way towards Chester but I did trace water all across the "landward side" of the place



I was an only child and there were no other kids I knew anywhere near where I lived

and it was probably raining
