Don't know what they did with all the dirt but some of it was used to extend the banks of the river. One good example of this is around the Tower of London. The river at one stage used to be closer to the tower but the dirt has extended the banks so the river is further away from the tower than it used be.

Dumped in the Thames, flowed downstream, voila! Essex!

They actually gave it to the poor. And charged/taxed them for it!
