Working on the River Bank
Working on the River Bank
A small watercourse, Sweep's Ditch, joins the Thames here. Work is going on here to install a new penstock at the confluence to prevent river water backing up along the ditch and flooding the area behind. Sweep's Ditch will be pumped into the river while high levels persist.
