About Frog Island
What are the main landmarks in Frog Island?
The National Space Centre dominates. It is the one name on Frog Island's list with a reach beyond the district itself, while the Church of St Mark accounts for the rest of what the record enters here. Two names, one large and one parish, make a short circuit.
Anything more means crossing into Leicester proper, where the rest of the city's sights are kept.
What is the history of Frog Island?
The list holds two kinds of thing. One is the Church of St Mark, a parish dedication of the sort many Leicester districts keep; the other is the National Space Centre, whose subject belongs to no parish register at all. Neither name fixes a date for Frog Island itself.
The district's own dating is left to its buildings, and to whatever Leicester records around them.
Where is Frog Island?
Leicester's street grid takes in Frog Island, and the National Space Centre is the largest thing the district's record names, in England.
