St Thomas' Creek (London)

United Kingdom / England / Westham / London
Of the many channels in the area, the Bow Back/St Thomas' is the most industrialised section remaining, though new housing developments have sprung up in several places on the south side that fronts onto the main A12 route. Naturally the profelaration of industry along this stretch was of course due to the ease of access to the main road, and of course the vastly improved 1930's waterway didnt really serve any further purpose.
