Re: windy harbour ?????
It could be, though that wouldn't be in Ossy, and I can't see any water on the map.
You've done better than me though, it's been bugging me and I've drawn a blank with my searches. I home it's not a misprint on the postcard and it's actually somewhere in Derbyshire.

Re: windy harbour ?????
It's not in Ossy now but could it have been in 1909? Here's a current map showing the area (courtesy of Mario again), could it be one of the three reservoirs?

Re: windy harbour ?????
I think you may have cracked it. It is more hilly over there, and like you say the boundaries may have changed.
Pat yerself on the back mate.

Re: windy harbour ?????
Whilst searching for info on Windy Harbour and the boundaries of Ossy in days gone by I came across the following site which may be relevant to those interested in such subjects: http://vision.edina.ac.uk/index.jsp
