Denton Island

Formed when the North Quay was cut in the mid 19th century. The meandering loop around the island is the old course of the River Ouse and the bridge onto the newly formed island is near the site of the original wooden bridge which took the route to Seaford following the northern side of the river bank. The island was initially another marine and industrial area but has now been redeveloped and includes showrooms, business centres, a college campus and an indoor bowls club.
