Three diggers carry out Environment Agency work to improve the river flow below the weir at Jordan. This is part of a strategy to lessen the chances of the Don flooding Sheffield again. The concrete wall in the river separates the Don (right) from the Blackburn Meadows sewage works outfall (left). The OS 1:50000 map, shown on Geograph calls this area Jordon, but the OS 1:25000 Explorer map and Get-a-map calls it Jordan.
