The Flood Hub

The Environment Agency is featuring the work of a Kendal based artist Bob Henfrey, who has captured the construction of the Kendal Flood Scheme in watercolours. The virtual walking art gallery which is part of an online map guide is now available and gives residents and visitors a unique opportunity to see this substantial Government funded civil engineering project being captured through sketches and paintings.

The Kendal Flood Scheme Virtual Art Gallery is an online map, which can be viewed by clicking here, links Bob’s watercolours with the locations along the River Kent in Kendal where work has been completed and is currently taking place.

Artist Robert, who has lived and worked in the town since 1993 has created over a dozen sketches of the ongoing civil engineering project.  His art has depicted the progression of the project from various points of view, and he is creating a series of sketches which will record the event as a personal project.
