The island is named after Charles Wigg, who started an alkali works there in the 1860s to extract copper from its ore. The factory was known as "Wigg works" and in 1890 it was bought by the United Alkali Company. This company was bought by ICI in 1926 and the original Wigg works was closed to make way for a new chemical factory on the site.
Certain parts of the island you can not cycle keep an eye out for the signs.
It's a beautiful bird watching site and amazing views of Jubilee Bridge and Mersey Gateway Bridge.
