A small reportage gallery of the recent floods in York, for the first time in almost 30 years since it was opened, the Foss Barrier that protects the River Foss has failed due to water getting into the pumping house, the result of this is that areas of Huntington ( where I live, my house is fortunately fine ) and the route along the river into York have flooded for the first time in over 30 Years.
The water has now started to recede. York was carnage today with no phone lines working, internet down, shops only able to take cash payments and all the cash machines were down, rescue crews from all over the country supporting the emergency services.
