| Description |
I never had seen the barrier when it was closed until today..It was closed i guess you would say for maintenance,just to make sure its all working ok.. There are 10 gates in it so this photo is less than half its width i wanted to get a close enough image to show the gates and it is hard to take a photo of the whole barrier from the river bank.. I guess the best view is from <a href="https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@51.4968546,0.0398455,646m/data=!3m1!1e3" rel="nofollow">google satellite</a> The Thames Barrier spans 520 metres across the River Thames near Woolwich, and it protects 125 square kilometres of central London from flooding caused by tidal surges. It has 10 steel gates that can be raised into position across the River Thames. When raised, the main gates stand as high as a 5-storey building and as wide as the opening of Tower Bridge. Each main gate weighs 3,300 tonnes. |
