River Roding in Barking Looking upstream, the footbridge in 111233 and the tower blocks in 322334 can both be seen in the distance. The reed beds visible along this reach of the river are important, and in this area, unique wildlife environments. In a couple of places the river has meandered in the past, but the meanders have subsequently silted up allowing the reeds to grow. However the organization that was responsible for building the flood defence walls has gone to great lengths to preserve the reeds by building the wall around the outskirts of the old meander line.
St Margaret’s Church tower , Barking The Parish Church of St Margaret of Antioch is situated in the grounds on the south side of the ruins of Barking Abbey. The church was founded in about 1215 and enlarged and altered in the 15th and 16th centaury’s. Captain Cook was married here in 1762. http://www.saintmargarets.org.uk/history/history1.htm
