Thames - Rom Junction
Address is taken from a point 384 yards away.
Thames - Rom Junction is on the River Thames (tidal section below the flood barrier) just past the junction with The Dover Canal.
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.
