Wantz Stream in Dagenham
Wantz Stream is a tributary of the Beam River and is seen here, looking upstream, in the Beam Parklands.
Wantz, incidentally, is derived from the Middle English word wente meaning a way. Where four ways or paths met, or in other words a crossroads, the location was known as "four wantz", so the stream probably rises at a historic crossroads upstream in the Romford area.

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.
