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. This is next to the Thames Path. Dagenham can be seen across the other side of the River Thames.
