Flood Alleviation Scheme: River Hull Tidal Surge Barrier

Kingston upon Hull has a very long history of the land adjacent to the River Hull being flooded due to tidal surges. To alleviate this problem, the River Hull Tidal Surge Barrier was constructed at the mouth of the river. A flood control gate, the barrier impounds the river in times of tidal surges, preventing water moving upstream of the river from the Humber Estuary, and flooding the areas of the city which are near to the river, or susceptible to flooding. It was opened 15 April 1980. Grade II Listed Building: Link
