The Plough - Flooded
The Plough - Flooded
The 20th July 2007 deluge caused gridlock on the Midlands' roads preventing the delivery of Upton's flood prevention barriers. In the end the subsequent flood was so great it would have defeated the barriers anyway. This was taken from the bridge two days after the peak of the flooding (when access into the town became possible).
