	Eel Pie Island - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Eel Pie Island was earlier called Twickenham Ait and, before that, The Parish Ait; even earlier the island was three separate aits.
		In 2005, Eel Pie Island was briefly invaded by writer and presenter Danny Wallace, who intended to claim the territory as his own and form a new country, but order was swiftly restored when his two-man invasion force was routed by local authorities.
		The centre of the island was devastated by fire in 1996 and a year later the footbridge was damaged by a utilities contractor, a new one being opened in August 1998.

		These days, the island is almost purely residential, bar one working boatyard: there are around 120 inhabitants in 40 houses of all shapes and sizes, plus numerous houseboats – the occupants of which Baylis once described as ‘50 drunks clinging to a mudflat’.
		It took him a while to be accepted: Eel Pie, like many communes where people are trying to escape the norm, exudes an atmosphere that is simultaneously open-minded and closed to outsiders – if the residents could raise the bridge that connects them to the mainland on the Twickenham side, they probably would.
		Pete Townshend was so taken by Eel Pie Island he named his music company after it and in the late ’60s would help out at the Simms’ boatyard, which once made the crafts for the Boat Race but which has long since closed down.

	Island Anthology
		Small islands differ in their characteristics.....There are high islands derived from volcanoes, or from aggregations of continental rocks, or from the elevation of reef rock.
		Although all are "small" (islands or states), the experience of their land formations, whether by visitors or indigenous inhabitants, is vastly different--a difference which it is not (yet) possible to discern from the present categories.
		Islands are candles, to be snuffed out one by one only for those island-living species which are territorially bound and unable either to adapt to, resist or retire in the face of innovation.

		An architect's dream project on Eel Pie Island in the River Thames at Twickenham came a step closer for Henry Harrison in 2002 with the successful pioneering application of Uretek deep injection to provide the only available alternative to traditional piling.

		Hailing from Eel Pie Island, a ghostly landmass that time forgot and a former haunt to names as illustrious and long-dead as Henry VIII and Charles Dickens is off-kilter enough, but that's not nearly the half of it.
		Not when you take into consideration the fact that their cards have been marked by the long arm of the Eel Pie law for continually pissing off the island's 120 inhabitants with their now-legendary riotous gatherings at the boathouse where they rehearse.
		Or, for that matter, that they look like a rag-tag band of villainous tinkers from an old episode of Scooby Doo, think nothing of bursting into perfectly-harmonised four-part Gregorian chants and were weaned from an early age on the belief that all records made after 1975 are inherently evil.
