Ludlow's flood action and river environment group

 

The floods of February 2020

On the night of 15/16 February 2020 Storm Dennis caused torrential rainfall and heavy flooding throughout the United Kingdom. Many parts of the country suffered worse than Ludlow, and the photographs shown here were taken several hours after the peak in water level eary that morning, when the rivers Teme and Corve burst their banks spectacularly. The flooding was as serious at that in the summer of 2007.
