Gnome Island, Manchester Ship Canal
Image: © David Dixon Taken: 1 Jul 2020
Gnome Island is one of the derelict man-made concrete “islands” left behind from the old Manchester/Salford Docks. It has been home to a large group of jolly gnomes who have taken it over since the first gnome, Gnorman, arrived in 2017. It is located on the Salford side of the Ship Canal but all the gnomes are facing Trafford.
