Washlands Scheme
This picture shows the construction of the Washlands Flood Storage area renewal project. This is an area designed to hold flood water from the River Beam protecting near by houses from flooding. The £2m project is designed to restore the dikes, which have sunk over the years due to underlying soft peat subsiding. New dikes are being constructed from more solid material from below the peat layer.

Beam Auto Sluice 55BE0102/C501
So says the Environment Agency sign on the fence. Combined with an earth wall across the rest of the valley, it appears to be a recent measure to prevent extreme high tides in the Thames progressing up the Beam valley.
