User:RHaworth/Islands in name only of England

There are a number of places in England with Isle or Island in their names but which would not usually be considered islands. These can be classified as places that:
 * 1) were islands once but have now become part of the mainland, notably Thanet
 * 2) are still islands but are only separated by narrow channels, eg. Portsea Island
 * 3) were islands of higher ground within fens, eg. Ely
 * 4) are peninsulas rather than true islands, eg. Purbeck
