Ash Island
Ash Island is a forested, drop-shaped island in the River Thames in England, across the weir of Molesey Lock within Greater London on its border. In the same way as Hampton Court, Ash Island's post town is East Molesey (KT8)〔(Royal Mail Postcode Finder )〕 and the island is administratively within the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames. The main weir is at the downstream end of the island connecting to the lock; the second weir is at the upstream end and connects to the Hampton Court bank. Consequently there is a difference of several feet in the water level surrounding the island.〔(Ordnance Survey map, courtesy of English Heritage )〕 The island is privately owned and has a boatyard on side towards the lock, and moorings on the lower side. Most of the island is densely covered in trees, its maximum length is 236m, maximum width 90m and it is 25m downstream of Tagg's Island.〔(Grid reference Finder measurement tools )〕 ==See also==
