Ham Island, River island in Old Windsor, England
Ham Island spans 50 hectares in the River Thames and contains 37 residential properties along with a water treatment facility and horse rescue center.
The Thames Navigation Commissioners created Ham Island in 1822 by digging the New Cut channel to establish Old Windsor Lock, transforming a peninsula into an island.
The island includes sections within the Scheduled Ancient Monument designation connected to the medieval Kingsbury palace and surrounding historical structures.
Regular flooding affects the island during high water periods, requiring residents to maintain preparedness for potential evacuations throughout the winter months.
The water treatment plant on Ham Island operates behind natural screening, maintaining separation between industrial operations and the residential sections.
