The wall at the side of the River Trent near Trent Bridge shows the level of flood water reached during certain notable years. Flooding of the banks of the Trent has been a problem for centuries and was only really conquered back in the 1950s. The terrible floods of 1946 and 1947 made keen impact and seemed to initiate costly antiflood measures. Floodbanks, walls, culverts, widening of the river and Colwick sluices all cost over
