One of the tributaries of Main Street Dyke. As with many others, the Main Street Dyke is a natural watercourse which originally ran alongside the village street has been culverted, and is subject to overload. The debris grille and depth marker were installed following the floods of 2007 http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/483720. Remote monitoring means that build-up can be observed by the authorities and cleared before it becomes a hazard.
