Winter brings floods to Layham & Hadleigh
Some years we appear to have a considerable amount more wet weather than others. During these times, Layham takes on a new look, and indeed, the whole area does. This year was one of the wetter ones, although not the worst we have seen. Here are some of the images I have taken when we have experienced large rainfalls.
The seat in the conservation area. You needed wellingtons to reach it, and the view was a bit different from normal. Where does the river start or finish?
The path through the trees is flooded, but the odd oasis produces the occasional surprise.
... such as crocuses still managing to produce some colour.
.... and snowdrops.
It's as well that this house is standing on pillars of brick, although this year the water was not quite as deep but near enough.
Facing the other way, the garden? and tennis court of the neighbours property.
The water as it thunders under the bridge and down the overflow beside the bridge.
Walking toward Hadleigh, this is the scene which greeted me. This is normally horse grazing area!
Anyone for rugby? Not much play on Hadleigh Rugby Club grounds.
In front of the Council offices. There is, believe it or not, a footpath under this lot.
However, the Royal Mail always tries to deliver.
