Dist:0.8km south<br/>This is the downstream side of the barrier, which was built over a period of four years, being completed in 1983. It is about 60 metres high, and was needed to be this size to allow shipping to reach the Town Quay in Barking further upstream. The barrier crosses the Barking Creek reach of the River Roding, at its confluence with the River Thames.

Dist:1.0km southeast<br/>This is a derelict ancillary building to the old Barking Power Station, long since demolished. The area is still owned by N-Power and this is their "Open Air Storage Depot" or so the sign nearby declares. Tied to the railings is a planning application for the old power station site. Included are 10800 homes, 65,000 sq metres of retail space, and all the infrastructure (schools, medical, facilities etc etc) to service them, in fact a new town in the Thames Gateway. Also included in the application are provision for a City Farm and an ecology centre.
