Descriptive gazetteer entries

In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described St Marys Island like this:

BATE'S ISLAND, a small island in Earsdon parish, Northumberland; nearly opposite Hartley, 4½ miles SSE of Blyth. Here are remains of a chapel and a hermitage. Here also is a small harbour, made by Lord Delaval, for sheltering fishermen in storms.
