Flood Waters at Purewell Meadows
Image: © mike smith Taken: 8 Jan 2014
Although a winter flood plain, in summer this is a meadow with horses grazing. After days of near-constant rain in January 2014, the local rivers are in flood. This water is from the River Avon. The commercial buildings in the background are in Stoney Lane, and when the photo was taken, were not flooded.
