Following on from yesterday's blip.

A bit more about the island here.

An extract:
An inn was on the ait by 1743.[2] During the 19th century it was a popular resort for steamer excursions.[2] When a new inn was built in 1830 to replace it, the former venue was alternatively called a "dingy wooden cottage" or an "unassuming but popular little barn".

The island remained a place of leisure and a hotel was built. When this fell into disrepair, the era of  blues and r 'n' b began.
