Trapped flood water, Carlisle Rugby Club
Image: © Rose and Trev Clough Taken: 9 Dec 2015
The ground is off Warwick Road, in an area of Carlisle hit by serious flooding on 6 December 2015. At the height of the flood, the water level was just below the goal crossbar (as seen in photos on the Rugby Club website http://www.pitchero.com/clubs/carlislerugby ). The rivers Petteril and Eden overtopped nearby flood banks, which then prevented the water from flowing back. A few days later the site was drained by putting relief channels in the defences, and deployment of pumps.
