The Cove Brook at Mayfield Road. Seen here at a low flow, the gauge board is more or less unreadable through the mud and weeds, but there is 2.5 metres of board above that. It would be a severe event if levels reached the top, but it's a reminder of what some of these little streams can do. It's worth noting that the nearest houses are some way back from the brook.
