Of all the rains of the last few weeks, nothing has matched 23rd December when over 3" of rain fell in 24hours bringing the river up to '100 year levels', at least per the Environment Agency data. Reassuringly, it seems the Millers of old new how to organise these things, and just as the river level was approaching the air-bricks, the river breached the opposite bank and rushed away, over into the meadow and across the road to the mill pond and river downstream. The archimedes screw was surrounded with water briefly, that thankfully subsided relatively quickly and we are now back to generating! Just feel very sorry for those that have been flooded.
