IMG_7685_danger.jpg On Thursday 19th November 2009 over 31cm of rain fell in 24 hours on the Cumbrian mountains. The single largest rainfall total in the British Isles since records began. It caused unprecedented flooding, with Cockermouth being particularly badly hit after both the Cocker and Derwent burst their banks. The main street was 5 feet underwater and £millions worth of damage was caused. Here a footbridge over the River Derwent in Workingotn is one of many that was destroyed or damaged in the flood.

IMG_3646_workington.jpg The devastating floods that hit Cumbria divided the town of Workington in half after all the bridges crossing the river Derwent that seperates the town were destroyed. This left many residents with a 40 mile car journey to get to work or school, which previously had been a half mile walk. This week a footbridge was installed by the army to reconnect the two halves of the town. The bridge was named the Barker Crossing after PC Bill Barker who lost his life when Workingtons main road bridge was destroyed. There is still no way across for vehicles and Cumbria County councul announced this week that it could take up to two years to erect a new road bridge.
