Dating from 1895, the 41 ft tower of Cross Ness Light shows a flashing white light which is visible for eight miles. The promontory on which the light stands gives its name to Crossness Sewage Treatment Works, just downriver of here. The tower blocks on the left hand horizon are in Barking whilst the works on the right hand horizon are in Dagenham.
