Flood at junction of Morestead and Hazeley Roads

This junction floods quite often, but not usually as badly as shown in these photos which were taken during the wettest winter for many years. Water from the farmland to the east of the Morestead Road arrives at the junction which is a local low point. It has nowhere to go unless it can drain into the chalk, which it can't when the water table rises after prolonged rainfall. After the flood has built up sufficiently it can flow down the drive of the Lime Centre, and then along the valley to Twyford, where it causes another flood.
