About Fencing in Erith
Erith sits on the south bank of the River Thames in south east London, a town with a long history as a riverside port and later a centre for heavy industry, including explosives manufacturing and shipbuilding through the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. The riverside area has since been redeveloped with new housing overlooking the water, and a public riverside walkway now runs along much of the former dockland.

Types of Materials found in Erith
Erith sits on London Clay bedrock close to the Thames, with river terrace gravel and some alluvial deposits along the immediate riverside. The clay can shrink and swell with seasonal moisture, so deeper concreted post footings are generally recommended, particularly for taller fencing near the river.
