Marygate - Flooding


Views of the tower at the end of Marygate. Although York does suffer a little bit from flooding it is usually only properties near to the river that are affected. There are flood defence walls with sealable gates. In the bottom photograph the red brick wall where you can see a car has a gate that is raised when the water becomes a threat and keeps the properties behind the wall safe.
