Ham Island
Human settlement in England
Ham Island is an inhabited man-made island of roughly 50 hectares (125 acres) in the River Thames in Old Windsor in England. It was a mature meander of the Thames until a channel was dug, the New Cut, to build Old Windsor Lock which reduced the navigable distance by two thirds.
The island contains 37 dwellings, a couple of which were abandoned during the 2014 flood.
