Stifford Road bus stop
Actually on South Road, but named after a side road as is the usual practice. Routes stopping are 11, 370 and X81. The 370 is a long-standing route, originally with green London Country buses running from Tilbury Ferry to Romford. It is now cut back to start at Lakeside.

Q: What is the difference between a flood caused by a cloudburst and one caused by Essex & Suffolk Water?
A: With a cloudburst sometimes you can prepare for it thanks to a weather forecast!
I have to admit the crisis team did seem to arrive fairly quickly. However I am lucky my house is far enough away to be dry.

Stifford Road Burst Water Main Works
Sadly I was not able to do the real action shots of this event, due to Covid-19 I was in the middle of a ZOOM pub quiz while the worst of the devastation was happening (for the record I was on the winning team... first time ever!!)
