What the Environment Agency's rivers-and-sea flood-risk data says about Stone

Ordnance Survey places 26 postcodes in Stone in the Environment Agency's rivers-and-sea flood-risk dataset (Risk of Flooding from Rivers and Sea). Each postcode is counted once, under the worst band any of its properties reaches; together they hold 151 properties in the EA dataset's likelihood bands.

This dataset covers flooding from rivers and the sea only — one of five flood sources. Surface water, groundwater, sewers and reservoirs are assessed separately, so a postcode missing from it is not proof that a place cannot flood. The band describes the land around properties (allowing for defences), not any single address and not today's conditions.

Rivers and live river levels near Stone

Environment Agency gauges within 10 km of Stone watch River Trent, Meece Brook, River Sow, Sandyford Brook, River Blithe.

Distances are from the middle of Stone's at-risk postcodes. Tidal and structure gauges are shown as readings only — the tide and sluice gates move them, not floods. A gauge with no recent reading shows no level.

The watercourse nearest Stone

The nearest watercourse on the river map is the River Trent, about 360 m from the middle of Stone's at-risk postcodes. It flows into the River Humber about 246 km downstream. (Trent and Mersey Canal is nearer, about 110 m, but a canal is not followed.)

A gauge downstream shows water that has already passed this point; one upstream sees it first. Distances along the river are from the point on the River Trent nearest the middle of Stone's at-risk postcodes. From Ordnance Survey’s river map (OS Open Rivers), which leaves out small streams, ditches and culverts, so a nearer one may exist. This describes where water goes on the map; it says nothing about flooding at any address. Contains OS data © Crown copyright and database rights 2026.

Recorded floods near Stone

None mapped within ~5 km of Stone.

No recorded outline within ~5 km of Stone means no flood was mapped here, which is not evidence none happened: the Environment Agency mapped only some floods, mapping effort rose sharply after about 2000, and surface-water flooding is largely absent from this record. Open the recorded-floods map →
