Abseil Inspection of Woolwich Ferry Terminal

Greenwich Council

2003

The Woolwich ferry provides a link over the River Thames in London.  Each terminal, one located on the south and one on the north bank, consists of a reinforced concrete tower which houses the lifting equipment for two structural steel link spans.  The link spans provide the means of access from the piled roadway onto the ferry.
