House near the Stour, Canford Bridge
Image: © John Palmer Taken: 11 Feb 2009
This new £1.25 million house was built recently in Station Road, Wimborne, close to the downstream side of Canford Bridge. Unfortunately it is rather close to the river, and floodwaters reached across the lawn to the brickwork on the day of the photograph (height 355) and on the previous day. The wet mark on the wall shows that during the night the peak height of the flood was 376. This was almost the highest flood for 6 years, see records of river levels on this http://www.eyemead.com/LEVELS.htm
