4K video of the Worcester Floods late October 2019 - River Severn - England
This 4K video is about the floods along the banks of the River Severn in Worcester. The video was taken late October 2019. If we had gone out the night before there would have been a lot more water. Every year the River Severn spills over into the flood plains along its banks. At this time of year the night are closing in and getting out after work to take shots before the sun disappears can be tricky. We love where we live, but tend to take it for granted. Maybe we should do more local videos. Please comment, and if you want us to take anything in our area let us know.

The area can be quite populated on sunny days and weekends but it just adds to the atmosphere. You feel like you're on holiday.

4K video. A walk to Diglis Basin, where the Worcester and Birmingham Canal meets the River Severn.
This is a 4K video of a walk to Diglis Basin. Diglis Basin sits where the canal meets the River Severn in the city of Worcester. We walked along the Worcester and Birmingham Canal on Sunday, one of the sunny days in November 2019. We passed the Commandery, the Royalist Headquarters during the deciding battle of the English Civil War – the Battle of Worcester 1651. There is more to this area, but as you will see the Severn was still in flood therefore some areas were inaccessible. You will notice the water overspilling the towpath after lock one. The area around the Basin has gone through a transformation developing the space, turning it from a derelict wasteland into what you see today. The development to the right as we approach the Basin is the now transformed Royal Porcelain Works.

White legged Damselfly on River Severn, Worcester
The delicate and beautiful white legged dragonfly Platycnemis pennipes is in tandem and ovipositing on watermargin plants on the River Severn near Worcester UK in 2008.
The watermargin plants are absent on 99% of this 4 mile section of the River Severn, due in large part to illegal breaking washes from boats.
The video ends sadly as one female is separated from her mate during egglaying by wash from a high wash boat. The seemingly damaged female slowly clambers up the stem of the water margin plant, acorus calamus, her future uncertain, though it seems as though her last chance of ovipositing is over.
This tin bathtub is inappropriately used as a rowing coaching launch by Kings School, Boat Club Worcester . According to one canoeist, it has the hydrodnamics of a brick!
In 2009 this patch of water margin plants is much reduced from last year, with the natural pressures of summer floods in consecutive years. Speeding boats have also broken the plants, eroded the soil from around the roots and ripped the plants from the silt.
The beautiful but haunting music from the talented local musican The Worrisome Ankletrout ( provides the ideal soundtrack.

Flooding along the River Severn in Worcestershire February 2014
This is a collection of video clips and photos showing the extent of the flooding in Bewdley (00:04), Stourport-on-Severn (04:00) and Worcester (12:17) in Worcestershire, United Kingdom. This was a few days to a week after the peak flooding but shows the aftermath at least. Apologies also the video is a bit jerky due to the editing software having problems with the camera videos.

Places to see in ( Stourport on Severn - UK )
Stourport-on-Severn, often shortened to Stourport, is a town and civil parish in the Wyre Forest District of North Worcestershire, England, a few miles to the south of Kidderminster and down stream on the River Severn from Bewdley.
Stourport came into being around the canal basins at the Severn terminus of the Staffordshire and Worcestershire Canal, which was completed in 1768. In 1772 the junction between the Staffordshire and Worcestershire and the Birmingham Canal was completed and Stourport became one of the principal distributing centres for goods to and from the rest of the West Midlands. The canal terminus was built on meadowland to the south west of the hamlet of Lower Mitton. The terminus was first called Stourmouth and then Newport, the final name of Stourport was settled on by 1771.
In 1870 the Cast Iron Stourport Road Bridge across the Severn was built. It currently carries the A451 road and was refurbished in 2007. In the area close to Stourport there are several large manor and country houses, among which Witley Court, Astley Hall, Pool House, Areley Hall, Hartlebury and Abberley Hall (with its clock tower) are particularly significant. Hartlebury was the residence of the Bishops of Worcester from the early 13th century until 2007, and Astley Hall was the home of Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin, who died here in 1947.
In 1968 the Transport Act designated the canal a Cruise way” for pleasure purposes. In 1944, this was the location of a famous address to the troops, by USA General George S. Patton. The George Gilbert Scott church replaced an earlier brick church of 1782 by James Rose. This building was never finished, and after suffering storm damage, had to be partly demolished. The current St. Michael's church sits partially within its ruins. The Font was salvaged from the ruins of the old church, and is still used in the current building.
The population of Stourport rose from about 12 in the 1760s to 1300 in 1795. In 1771 John Wesley had called Stourport a well built village but by 1788 he noted that where twenty years ago there was but one house; now there are two or three streets, and as trade increases it will probably grow into a considerable town. In 1790 he found the town twice as large as two years ago. With the completion of the Worcester and Birmingham Canal in 1816, the revenue of the Staffordshire and Worcestershire Canal plunged sharply and from 1812 the population of Stourport scarcely rose, with many male workers leaving the town.
