Swollen River Usk viewed from Usk Bridge, Usk
During a wet period at the end of January 2013, the increased volume of water in the River Usk has flooded many nearby river meadows. Here, the river has submerged a footpath http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/3352921 on the east bank. Railings on the right descend into water.

Former House of Correction, Usk
The building set back from the north side of Bridge Street was formerly the House of Correction or Old Bridewell, in use for about 200 years from 1642. It was the forerunner of Usk Prison, and had two predecessors. The earliest was the garrison in Usk Castle, followed by the building further along Bridge Street now named Gordon House.

Flooded riverside footpath, Usk
For most of the time, this footpath on the east bank of the River Usk gives a route northwards, but not today. The River Usk has flooded nearby fields, and here has caused minor flooding. A few walkers explored the depth of the flood but all wisely decided to turn back and use another route.
The houses are in Usk Bridge Mews.
