Weybridge Slipway

[Photo in February 2006. A dry winter and the weir between Shepperton Lock Island (to the right above), and Hamhaugh Island, is hardly running.
Beneath the "no fishing" sign (which makes a convenient place to stack his kit) is a fisherman. ]

[ There are several islands here. They are not clearly marked on many maps. ]

Whittet's Ait, Left bank

Named after Mr Whittet who owned it. The island is now being developed for housing. [ Sorry "Luxury Waterside Apartments"]
Some people will have some spectacular views of the weir and lock island.

1758: A Description of The Thames, Binnell & Griffiths

...the Town of WEYBRIDGE, a pleasant Town, well inhabited, and not only adorned with the Seats of the Earls of Lincoln and Portmore, but with the Ruins of a Royal Palace, called Oatlands.

1859: The Thames, Mr & Mrs Hall

We resume our voyage downward [from Chertsey Bridge], admiring, as we pass, the pleasant woods and wooded heights of Woburn, and welcoming another of the river's many tributaries — the Wey, which joins the Thames a mile or so below the bridge at Chertsey. The Wey rises in Hampshire, about a mile from Alton — "famous for ale". It passes through Farnham, Godalming, Guildford, Woking, Byfleet, and Weybridge, where it is joined by a small streamlet — the Bourne, and also by the Basingstoke Canal. The junction of the three streams is so picturesque that we supply an engraving of the scene.

THE WEY BRIDGE

Jerome K Jerome -

At Weybridge, the Wey (a pretty little stream, navigable for small boats up to Guildford, and one which I have always been making up my mind to explore, and never have), the Bourne, and the Basingstoke Canal all enter the Thames together.
