Firework Ait

Firework Ait is an island in the River Thames in England on the reach above Romney Lock, near Windsor, Berkshire.

The island is small and tree-covered and is closer to the Windsor bank, just above Windsor Bridge.

An account from the 1840s of life at Eton hypothesises that Percy Bysshe Shelley when at Eton in 1805 would have taken his skiff across to the "eyot which then served for fireworks".
