The John Luke footbridge, Newforge, Belfast (November 2014)
The high and very muddy Lagan flowing (from left to right) under the John Luke footbridge. This view J3269 : New footbridge, Clement Wilson Park, Newforge, Belfast (2013-1) (August 2013) shows the same place when the Lagan was low.
The River Lagan in flood 14/15 November 2014
Prolonged rain, during November 2014 (especially on 13 November), caused many rivers and drains to overflow, leading to extensive flooding in many parts of Northern Ireland but particularly Cos Armagh and Down. In Belfast the River Lagan (which has its source in the middle of Co Down J3145 : The source of the River Lagan) had broken its banks in several places. This is a collection of photographs taken between Ballyskeagh and Newforge on 14/15 November 2014. I have included, where possible. links to photographs showing, for comparison, the area without flooding.
