Land on the south side of the river is liable to flood. The wall in the foreground affords flood protection additional to the bund behind it. But raising the threshold on the footpath over the wall is a bit of a waste of time considering the unprotected gateway immediately to the left. The traffic in the background is on the way down from the ancient Corbridge Bridge.
