In 2000 the rain really came down on Malton, causing flooding yet again as in 1999. Most of the land bordering the R.Derwent was flooded and the town came to a standstill. The river spilled over onto the railway, stopping all rail traffic for several days. Seeing the 2000 floodline on the left of the building shows how high the river rose above normal levels. See Image
