A few photographs taken on the 20th November 2009 of the floods in Cockermouth town. These few posted here have been taken on the day after the evening’s flood waters that raced through the town on the eve of the 19th November. The volume of water in the confluent of two rivers and from about 300mm of rainfall, which fell in a 24 hour period was too much for the rivers to bear. My thoughts are with all those affected by these floods and heartfelt credit goes to all the rescue services and volunteers involved.
