Friday Island, River Thames
Friday Island is an island in the River Thames in England at Old Windsor, Berkshire. It is on the reach above Bell Weir Lock, just short of Old Windsor Lock.
The small island, whose shape is said to resemble the footprint of Man Friday in Daniel Defoe's 1719 novel ''Robinson Crusoe'', contains a two-bedroom cottage. For thirty years this was the home of Dr Julius Grant, the forensic scientist, from 1966 until his death in 1991. He was noted, among other detection, for proving in 1984 that the Hitler Diaries published in the ''Sunday Times'' were forgeries, despite an endorsement of their authenticity from the historian Hugh Trevor-Roper.〔Christopher Winn: ''I Never Knew That about the Thames'' (London: Ebury Press, 2010), p. 128.〕 The lock keeper recalled Dr Grant saying that when he went to the island, he felt it was like going a million miles away. It was like owning half of Australia, it was so secluded.〔Paul Goldsack ''River Thames: In the footsteps of the famous'' English Heritage/Bradt 2003〕
