Benfleet Flood Barrier
In the early 1980s the Benfleet tidal defence barrier was constructed as part of the Thames tidal defences, which also included the construction of the Thames Barrier. Working in conjunction with the Easthaven Barrier it was built to protect the people of Canvey Island and Benfleet from flooding. The barrier stops water backing up Benfleet Creek.
