@caitlinrgreen Could it show an emerging growing spit and the binks out east.
@SpurnAndyG I think it must be the binks---were they more pronounced back then, though, so that could be depicted as island?
Is there an American translation for a bink?
It's a local name, presumably Middle English benks, binks, from Old Scand benkr/Scand'ized Old English benc, 'ledge, terrace, bank' :-)
Amazing work! How to win at Twitter! Thanx!
Hah! No problem! :)
@caitlinrgreen there is a sandbar within the bay called the Conch (I think) = maybe it's been drawn in the wrong place?
@drsimonwoodward Quite possibly! Though odd that only these depicted & no others? Cf the slightly later Cecil map?
@caitlinrgreen sorry - not a local or an expert - just remember it from a study I did 10 years ago for a new marina in Brid
@drsimonwoodward no worries, later map here fwiw :) http://www.bl.uk/onlinegallery/onlineex/illmanus/roymanucoll/c/001roy000018d03u00063000.html … Sandbar def likely, curious nonetheless!pic.twitter.com/72J5ySDhp6
@caitlinrgreen Not really relevant but Egil & his men (see Egil's Saga) were shipwrecked at the mouth of the Humber c.mid-10th century.
@cranerising Absolutely! Is a fascinating area, historically!
@caitlinrgreen I don't know the area but amazed at all the stuff you've tweeted about it lately. And then reading Egil & up it pops again!
@cranerising Thanks! And nice coincidence! :)
