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.

A different view of reflections on this very attractive river in Kendal. The town is sometimes called ‘the old grey town’ because of so many of its buildings are constructed using the local Lake District slate. We see in the reflections a touch of that. Enjoy full screen
