A place known in Leeds, but also goes for any area that had the same
circumstances.
Usually a certain area, maybe an estate, but not usually a street which contains the majority of old people. Another common factor, and most certainly of the one in Leeds, is the area is full of
bungalows, also
associated with older people. The name comes from 'angel' as in meaning 'dead', and 'island' as in meaning the 'area'.
Mickey: Where does your granny live?
Minnie: Down Angel Island, how about yours?
Mickey: Down Angel Island too. They're having a
pensioners bash this
weekend at
the church hall.
