The Trent in Flood at Swarkestone

June 2007 was unseasonably wet, causing severe problems in parts of the Midlands and Northern England. South Derbyshire was not so badly affected but the Trent flooded, as it is liable to do. The name Trent is thought to mean "trespasser", meaning "river liable to flood".
