English Island (also called Hilyard Island) is a tidal island off the north-west edge of Deer Island in the West Isles Parish of Charlotte County, New Brunswick, Canada, where the Bay of Fundy enters Passamaquoddy Bay.[1][2][3]
The few homes on the island belong to the descendants of Dr. Henry Frye, a prominent local physician tied to Hospital Island and Frye Island.
A small graveyard holds fewer than a dozen old graves of the English family.
In plans for a hydroelectric system built around a series of dams through the West Isles, it was proposed to connect English Island to both Deer Island and Pendleton Island in the second year of construction at a proposed cost of $565,000.[4]
