Barking Barrier

This is the downstream side of the barrier, which was built over a period of four years, being completed in 1983. It is about 60 metres high, and was needed to be this size to allow shipping to reach the Town Quay in Barking further upstream. The barrier crosses the Barking Creek reach of the River Roding, at its confluence with the River Thames.
