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 It looks like a low water map, the binks do appear cyclical.
@SpurnAndyG Could well be :) Just lack of other low water features on map intriguing tho', compare Cecil map: http://www.bl.uk/onlinegallery/onlineex/illmanus/roymanucoll/c/001roy000018d03u00063000.html …
@caitlinrgreen Point taken. What is the sand bank to south of map.
@SpurnAndyG On the Cecil map nr Grimsby? Poss what inspired 1540s mid-Humber island, though as before, why just this one? :-/
@caitlinrgreen I was referring to the island on the 1541 map and now see its in the middle of the Humber. Will have o give this thought.
@caitlinrgreen @SpurnAndyG that's it - Binks not Conche - conche is off Alderney (another study!)
@drsimonwoodward @SpurnAndyG Ah, yes, easternmost one def likely to be Binks; thought meant one in mid-Humber could be sandbar :)
