Geograph - photograph every grid square

Flood Embankment and ST4363 Yeo Levee. In 1971 the Lee River Catchment Board were attempting to dry out North London and the rail to Cambridge. Saturday 24th February 2007 we drove merrily below the Ouse top level at Earith, due to the rains that affected North Cotswold with flooding, that is an interesting experience. It makes you realise what would happen if Medway and Somerset Levels projects had not been implemented. Along the Severn the water simply breaches the levee tops and fills the fields and roads sometimes, the ditches flowing backward, but that was 1972 and I cannot provide the photographs, all gone. In Wales you simply get washed down hill unless you live in a deep cut incision stream, or river valley base, so while wet and muddy are less likely to drown, or lose your house.
