About

Priory ward encompasses the northern coastal section of the Isle of Sheppey, characterised by a mix of residential, industrial, and undeveloped landscapes. The area includes the town of Sheerness, with its working port and associated industrial estates that form a significant part of the local economy. Residential streets, primarily Victorian and post-war housing, spread inland from the sea wall.

The coastline here is defined by the Thames Estuary, with views across to Southend. A specific feature is the Sheerness Dockyard Church, its preserved shell standing as a prominent landmark. Large areas of open grassland and scrub lie adjacent to the urban centre, particularly around the Barton's Point Coastal Park, providing recreational space along the shore.
