After the flood
Introduction
The photograph on this page of After the flood by Penny Mayes as part of the Geograph project.
The Geograph project started in 2005 with the aim of publishing, organising and preserving representative images for every square kilometre of Great Britain, Ireland and the Isle of Man.
There are currently over 7.5m images from over 14,400 individuals and you can help contribute to the project by visiting https://www.geograph.org.uk

Houses in the centre of Bettws Cedewain were inundated on the night of 22 July 2007 when a wall of water swept down Bechan Brook after a blockage upstream gave way (or so I was told). Two days later the front gardens were filled with the flood-damaged furniture and carpets.
