Position and use
The island is an uninhabited tree-covered strip adjacent to the Windsor bank of the river between Windsor Bridge and Windsor Railway Bridge.
Swans, geese and a small number of coots all live on this island.
Barry Avenue Island
The same distance as its length downstream, is Barry Avenue Island, or unnamed, which is slightly larger at .641 acres (0.259 ha), compared to Deadwater's size, 0.550 acres (0.223 ha) as itemised by 25-inch-to-the-mile maps produced, out of copyright, in 1897.[1] It is the same distance from the Windsor bank and has the same use for habitat and wildlife.
gollark: I think there could be a good interesting way to do it, but that the vanilla mob system is not that.
gollark: What's the difference between a black box which spawns stuff and a black box which just materializes the items?
gollark: And has all kinds of weird conditions.
gollark: Well, mob spawning is just annoying.
gollark: Woot does that but also has stupid recipes.
