Low Tide, Silvertown

The Thames Flood Barrier at Woolwich Reach stretches between Charlton on the south and Silvertown on the north side of the river. Though not an 'Eastender' my paternal roots are in Silvertown. It's changed quite dramatically since I was last there some 40 years ago. It was wonderful going back and seeing how the area had been developed and revitalised though some of the older residents I met up with were not quite so happy with the changes.
