Best Answer

Tenbury has flooded several times in recent years for several reasons.

1. Heavy rain to the West causing run off down the valley where underground drainage was insufficient causing excess water to follow the roads into Town. Once there it was unable to find its way into the brook as the flood values had rusted shut. This caused the wall collapse.

2. Heavy rain to the direct South between Bromyard & Tenbury, caused the Kyre Brook to bust its banks and flood the Town. Water flowed North up Teme Street and into the River Teme.

3. Heavy rain North West into Ludlow and up through Wales. This causes the River Teme to burst its banks and water flows South down Teme Street and into the Kyre Brook (until that is full)
