Groundwater Flooding in Aldbourne 4
This is Lottage Road in Aldbourne which has been closed to traffic due to the River Aldbourne flowing along it. Not a problem for these horse riders though.
In the foreground is the official river channel which as you see is unable to cope with the large amount of water coming down from the normally dry upper section of the valley.
Water is also pouring out of drains and springs all along the road itself.

Sign for the Blue Boar
The blue boar is a heraldic reference to the Earl of Oxford. The white boar similarly refers to Richard III. It is said that after the defeat of Richard and the Yorkists at the Battle of Bosworth (1485), many White Boar signs were hastily painted blue, since the Earl of Oxford was a leading supporter of the Lancastrain cause.
