Flooded caravan park, Topcliffe

The flood of late September was record breaking as the Swale rose to its highest level in at least 30 years, flooding the caravan park and its recently constructed reception building, as well as the old toll cottage across the road and the lower floors of Topcliffe Mill a few hundred metres upstream. After this photo was taken the waters rose at least another 30cm.
