Here is an obliteration of HOLY ISLAND, near Berwick-on-Tweed in Northumberland. The population is only 180. This is a tidal island, as there are also Mont-St.-Michel in France and St.-Michael's Mount also in England.
There are lots of small islands around the coast of the UK and some of these have their own stamps. Most of them are cinderella's (unofficial stamps without postal value). As far as I know there is only one island that uses official stamps for postage to the mainland only, and that is the island of Lundy. More on Lundy later.
