About this Assembly

The Community Assembly of Saltash (Cornish: Essa) is located in a town facing the city of Plymouth over the River Tamar in Cornwall which is part of the Kernow Territory.

There are two bridges crossing the Tamar which are the Tamar Bridge (so named because it crosses the Tamar and no-one important built it) connecting Plymouth to Cornwall by road. Isambard Kingdom Brunel's Royal Albert Bridge carries the railway. Get the two mixed up and it can make one hell of a mess of your car.

In Edward the Confessor's time, it was called and spelt 'Aysche'. In the 1584 Charter, it is stated that Essa is now commonly called Saltash. A family called Essa lived in the twelfth century at their property near Ashtor Rock, where the Manor Courts were once held. The 'Salt' part of the name was added to distinguish it from other places called Ash.
