Abstract

Corner names

Residents of the Dudley Peninsula have made extensive use of the generic element corner to identify locations and as orientation tools. Many of these unofficial corner names have now become official, thanks to extensive local knowledge. The now-official nature of several of these names can be seen in road signs and on official maps, as with Felt Hat Corner and Pigs Head Corner.
