Flood defences at Kempsey One month ago on the 25 November, Kempsey made national headlines when this newly built flood defence and in particular this pumping station failed.  The flood bank effectively became a dam trapping the water of the swollen Hatfield Brook and resulting in the unexpected flooding of a number of homes in the village.  A month on and another flood, but fortunately this time it is working.  The tower of Kempsey church is to the right.

Kempsey: Squire's Walk and water level gaugeboard On the right is a water level gaugeboard, which shows the depth of water at the ford across Hatfield Brook, which itself is just around the corner to the left. Some indication of the depth of water that was expected at the ford in historic times can be gleaned from the fact that the base of the gaugeboard is at 7 feet. Philip's <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2642421">SO8449 : Ford in Kempsey</a> taken round the corner shows the "lower half" of the gaugeboard. Hopefully, with the completion in September 2012 of Kempsey's flood protection embankment, that keeps floodwater from the River Severn out of the village, and pumps that take excess water from the brook into the river, there will be no more need for such a gauge. However the pumps failed to operate as planned in a flood event in November 2012, and some properties in the village were flooded again.
