NY4156 : Trapped flood water, Carlisle Rugby Club
taken 9 years ago, near to Carlisle, Cumbria, England
Trapped flood water, Carlisle Rugby Club
The ground is off Warwick Road, in an area of Carlisle hit by serious flooding on 6 December 2015. At the height of the flood, the water level was just below the goal crossbar (as seen in photos on the Rugby Club website Link
).
The rivers Petteril and Eden overtopped nearby flood banks, which then prevented the water from flowing back. A few days later the site was drained by putting relief channels in the defences, and deployment of pumps.
