In a time when flooding was a significant threat to communities along the River Thames, this innovative scheme aimed to provide much-needed protection against potential disasters. The detailed drawing highlights the strategic locations where these relief channels would be implemented, demonstrating careful planning and consideration for maximum effectiveness.
