Gheluvelt Park's gates are closed and locked once again,
and all footpaths and bridges are under water.
We stood on Swan Bridge yesterday but it's an island today.
The river is right across the racecourse again.
Swan Theatre is under water again.
There's a theme to this blog.
Just a narrow strip of the car park remains dry.
Severn Terrace is not flooded……….
…….but it soon will be.
Castle Street/Croft Road is only open in one direction.
By the time we are walking home, about 3 hours
from the time we took this, it is closed.
The river is slowly, but inevitably, approaching The Butts.
The owner of this car needs to retrieve it pronto.
Just enough dry path to walk up Newport Street.
Plenty of debris under the Bridge Street bridge now.
This is the only part of Hylton Road still open to traffic.
It will all be closed within the hour.
Inundated.
Olde fella with some pigeons and swans.
(A Greylag Goose and a Tufted Duck with two Mallards
were also present but are not in any of our photos. Sorry.)
Come hell or high water the swans (and pigeons etc) must
all get an official feed from the official feeders twice a day.
Quite right too.
Nearly four hours after we set out (we've had summat
to eat and done some shopping) we are walking
past Gheluvelt Park again as we approach home
and the children's playground has even more water across it.
