The preserved features of Tewkesbury reveal some of the reasons for the floods of Severn and canal cut which one wonders may be resolved downstream, there is a weir to the west and along with this complex of structures the channel system is at least an interwoven set of flow and soil units which could move water in several directions in a backwater off the lower Gloucester reaches. Strictly the river estuary is tidal Kidderminster and Worcester has the sense to be on a steep bluff. The Severn has a high discharge regime and adequate source low ground to the north added to this the tide will restrain all downstream flow except stream velocity.
