Ees (place name) : ウィキペディア英語版 | Ees (place name)
Ees (plural of ''ee'') is an archaic English term for a piece of land liable to flood, or water meadow. It is derived from the Anglo-Saxon ''¯eg'' (or ''¯ieg'') meaning "'island', also used of a piece of firm land in a fen and of land situated on a stream or between streams".〔Ekwall, Eilert (1940) ''The Concise Dictionary of English Place-names''; 2nd ed. Oxford: Clarendon Press; p. 154〕 It is still used locally in Greater Manchester to indicate former water meadows and flood basins adjoining the River Mersey: Chorlton Ees, Sale Ees and Stretford Ees. The term is also modified to "eye" and "eea" in the name of Park Eye (or Park Eea).〔Lloyd, John M. (1972) ''The Township of Chorlton-cum-Hardy''. Manchester: E. J. Morten ISBN 0-901598-26-7; pp. 3-4 (Lloyd gives the derivation as from "ea", (=water or a river) )〕 ==Notes==
