After the Flood

 

The other day I thought I would revisit Wallingford Bridge and see how everything looked now the flooded Thames had receded. You might want to refresh your memory of what it looked like around the bridge by visiting the link above



This the bottom of the town steps which was not visible last time, the water was above the first arch

The river looks nearly back to normal height


The MINI who's roof you could just see is still here. the other two cars have been recovered

This is the narrowboat well up on the back, I would be interested to see how they get it back in the water, mind you they could always wait fro the next flood

 
If you check the link you can see this boat leaning on it's moorings with everything behind covered in flood water including the fence

 
The boathouse now after the water was over the steps and in the restaurant, they were cleaning up when I went past.
Take Care

  7. What a nightmare for everyone affected! I can't imagine how they would get that boat in the water and I don't suppose the MINI will ever drive again.

    1. No the MINI is trash, I doubt anything is salvageable on it
