Have a word with Morgans in Rochester. Last time I spoke to them (about 3 months ago) they still had some left from a large quantity of English Ash that they had had in stock for many years. Originally converted by them in the 60's I think, from memory, it's mostly 2" boards in various widths and generally pretty filthy due to its age.

Good timber under the dirt though though, I completed this last year from some of the same stock purchased about 3-4 years ago:

Not sure where Medway towns is but you could also try associated timbers. I brought some yesterday they always served it me log cut so wide board weany edge. The price hasn't been effected with the ash disease either.
