Wheatley’s Ait
This was once called Scotland Eyot and is a long island (of which the western upstream part is in this square) is Accessed by a bridge from the mainland. A storm weir separates the downstream section from the upstream residential area and is accessed by footbridge from the road, The Creek, on the northern bank. A controlled weir, Tumbling Bay, in the south marks the start of a shallow creek. The River Ash emerges into this area.
This island contains housing and part of the Environment Agency site. This includes an island site with a dry dock.
