The River Kent at Kendal

The River Kent at Kendal
A new river wall in the making here as the flood prevention scheme goes on for yet another year.

The people of Kendal are quite fed-up with all this now. It has been going on for years and effects the river bank and promenades for a good way from the town centre. However my nephew had water to the edge of his front door in the great Kendal flood of 2022 and so they might feel safer when this is done. The river around here has caused bad flooding for many years now. High river walls and armoured glass fences atop must cost a fortune.

HWW, enjoy the day.

You are right Tanja, it does look like over-kill but this river rises very quick and dramatically after heavy rainfall in the nearby Lake District mountains. Yes, we are all convinced that it is our climate warming that is to blame.

Aye, a few places around England has had bad flooding over the last few years and many places is getting it worse nowadays. I am sure for the people affected by the floods, such preventative measures are a Godsend.

Best Wishes. Herb
