A few flood photos
Public
The River Severn in Bewdley is currently at around 4.1 metres and steady. That's about 80 cm above the flood threshold, so as you'd expect the barriers are up on both sides of the river. Normal life is continuing, though, since the defences are very effective. Actually, local traders are quite happy about flooding these days, since it brings plenty of people into the town centre to take photos! I was one of those people, so here are three fairly representative pics. Sorry they're so dark; on a gloomy day in December there's not much to be done about that!
