Did anybody see the videos that were posted online from Low Bradfield at the weekend as flood water washed across the bottom of Woodfall Lane? Flask End cafe decided to close early after posting a dramatic clip on their Facebook and Twitter feeds. You could see the water almost lapping through their door.
The water obviously washed around the village with some force, because this morning there’s a deep rut gouged into the end of the Damflask footpath where it meets the bridge below Smithy Garage. Quite a few paths and lanes around the valley have been badly damaged by flood waters this winter. We’d imagine it’ll take quite a lot of work to get them back to a good condition.
