Now for many the Thames Barrier will just be one of those bits of river furniture, but for those of us who remember it being built, it was a fascinating engineering project, and this is the first of a few pictures taken during its construction.
For four decades it was one of the photographs I took of Eltham and Woolwich in the mid ‘70’s which sat undisturbed in our cellar.
But all good things eventually come to light.
They were colour slides which have been transferred electronically.
The quality of the original lighting and the sharpness is sometimes iffy, but they are a record of a lost Eltham and Woolwich.
Location; Woolwich
Picture; Woolwich circa 1976, from the collection of Andrew Simpson
