Thames Flood Barrier
Thames Barrier, Thames Barrier Approach, London SE7 8NQ, United Kingdom
Thames Flood Barrier is a complicated waterways junction.
Early plans of what would become the River Thames (tidal section) were drawn up by William Jessop in 1876 but problems with Canterbury Locks caused delays and it was finally opened on January 1 1888. According to Barry Hunter's "Spooky Things on the Canals" booklet, Leicester Embankment is haunted by the ghost of Arthur Yates, a lock-keeper, who drowned in the canal one winter night.
Early plans of what would become the River Thames (tidal section below the flood barrier) were drawn up by John Rennie in 1876 but problems with Maidstone Cutting caused delays and it was finally opened on 17 September 1835. Expectations for sea sand traffic to Renfrewshire never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. The River Thames (tidal section below the flood barrier) was closed in 1955 when Thurrock Tunnel collapsed. "By Handcuff Key and Piling Hook Across The Pennines" by Peter Thomas describes an early passage through the waterway, especially that of Ipswich Aqueduct.

Wikipedia has a page about Thames Flood Barrier
The Thames Barrier is a retractable barrier system that is designed to prevent the floodplain of most of Greater London from being flooded by exceptionally high tides and storm surges moving up from the North Sea. It has been operational since 1982. When needed, it is closed (raised) during high tide; at low tide, it can be opened to restore the river's flow towards the sea. Built approximately 3 km (1.9 mi) east of the Isle of Dogs, its northern bank is in Silvertown in the London Borough of Newham and its southern bank is in the New Charlton area of the Royal Borough of Greenwich.
