The town centre of Tewkesbury is to the left, housing developments of the 1960s can be seen in this picture, with Newtown in the foreground and Mitton beyond. The River Avon can be seen flowing from right to left and the River Severn is to the top left. Mythe Water Treatment Works can also be seen beside the River Severn, this is the treatment plant which had to be closed for a few days in July 2007 when it became flooded, leaving much of Gloucestershire without water.
