Description of data New water level data obtained from Farson Digital river cameras at collection four locations in the UK. Data was extracted from images manually by matching geo-referenced GNSS & TS metadata with water line points in the field-of-view of each camera. Data source location City/Town/Region: Evesham (Worcestershire), Tewkesbury (Gloucestershire), Diglis Lock (Worcestershire), Strensham Lock (Worcestershire).

This initial dataset can be used to verify and vali- date future automatic water level extraction algorithms from river cameras. • The new water-level dataset is especially useful for case studies on short-term flood haz- ard predictions and longer-term flood risk management and planning. This dataset provides novel, complementary information to existing water-level data from river-gauge and satellite synthetic aperture radar (SAR) data on the Tewkesbury November 2012 flood event. In par- ticular, the dataset provides new information on water-levels on the rising limb of the flood when the river is out-of-bank. • This new dataset provides hourly observations during daylight. Such a temporal observation frequency means that river cameras can capture the crucial rising limb of the flood. Thus, S. Vetra-Carvalho, S.L. Dance and D.C. Mason et al. / Data in Brief 33 (2020) 106338 3 the dataset may be used as a new source of information for use with hydrodynamic flood inundation models for calibration and data assimilation. 1. Data Description New water level observations are derived from four river cameras: Diglis Lock, Tewkesbury, Strensham Lock, and Evesham, located on rivers Avon and Severn in the UK (see Fig. 1 ) and are valid for the period between 21st November and 5th December of 2012 when a major flooding event occurred around the Tewkesbury area. The Tewkesbury 2012 flood event is a well-studied and documented event, with a number of river gauges within the catchment that can be used for validation [ 1 , 2 ]. Rainfall is the main driver of the river level rise and fall; however, river levels can also be affected by other factors, e.g. such as the opening and closing of dams and sluices or debris collecting in culverts [3] . The interested reader can download daily cumulative rainfall data from the UK National River Flow Archive [1] for the following raingauge locations illustrated on Fig. 1: Saxons Lode, Besford Bridge, Harford Hill, Knightsford Bridge, Bredon and Evesham. In addition, there is a series of 7 synthetic aperture radar (SAR) satellite overpasses at approximately 12-h intervals during the event, but none are available on the rising limb of the flood [2] . The new river camera dataset provides hourly daytime water level information on both the River Avon and River Severn for both the rising and falling limb of the flood. Thus, the dataset can be used as an additional source of information for flood event case studies, to verify and Fig. 1.

The water levels for the four river cameras over the period were manually ex- tracted from the archived hourly daylight images using high accuracy field-of-view point measurements for each of the cameras. These were measured using GNSS and Total Station. Details of the GNSS coordinate system at all the camera locations are provided in Table 1 . Table 2 shows the 3 G network base stations used at each river camera location to ensure high accuracy GNSS measurements.

It is the reason for the city’s existence, has historic importance as a means of transportation and today is a significant recreational and amenity facility. The Riverside Conservation Area was first designated on 8th September 1992 and boundary amendments were previously made on 13th June 2000. View of the cathedral from Diglis A conservation area is defined in the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990 as an area of special architectural or historic interest, the character or appearance of which it is desirable to preserve or enhance. This appraisal is in line with sections 69 and 71 of the 1990 Act, which places a duty on the local authority to designate and manage their conservation areas. Designation helps to ensure that an area identified for its special interest and significance is protected and managed appropriately. 3 Conservation is the management of change to a significant place or asset, in a way that will best sustain its heritage values, while recognising opportunities to reveal or reinforce those values for present and future generations. The conservation area appraisal is a means of identifying and assessing what the special architectural or historic interest of an area is, how this contributes to the areas character and appearance, and is an opportunity to identify where this can be enhanced.

  • Lime Kilns in Worcestershire
    Lime Kilns in Worcestershire Nils Wilkes Acknowledgements I first began this project in September 2012 having noticed a number of limekilns annotated on the Ordnance Survey County Series First Edition maps whilst carrying out another project for the Historic Environment Record department (HER). That there had been limekilns right across Worcestershire was not something I was aware of, particularly as the county is not regarded to be a limestone region. When I came to look for books or documents relating specifically to limeburning in Worcestershire, there were none, and this intrigued me. So, in short, this document is the result of my endeavours to gather together both documentary and physical evidence of a long forgotten industry in Worcestershire. In the course of this research I have received the help of many kind people. Firstly I wish to thank staff at the Historic Environmental Record department of the Archive and Archaeological Service for their patience and assistance in helping me develop the Limekiln Database, in particular Emma Hancox, Maggi Noke and Olly Russell. I am extremely grateful to Francesca Llewellyn for her information on Stourport and Astley; Simon Wilkinson for notes on Upton-upon-Severn; Gordon Sawyer for his enthusiasm in locating sites in Strensham; David Viner (Canal and Rivers Trust) in accessing records at Ellesmere Port; Bill Lambert (Worcester and Birmingham Canal Trust) for involving me with the Tardebigge Limekilns Project; Pat Hughes for her knowledge of the lime trade in Worcester and Valerie Goodbury
