Quite a while since I posted anything and some parts of York have changed. Some of the changes will follow over the coming days. However first I plan to start with some photos of the flooding that occurred in York at the end of last year when the pumps on the Foss barrier failed causing several million pounds worth of damage. There are some businesses in Fossgate and Walmgate that are still not back up and running yet.

Crossing by Morrisons Supermarket on Foss Islands Road
 
Giant sand bags being brought in by Chinnook helicopter
 
Frankie & Bennies just high enough to escape the flood waters

Majestic Wines hopefully the van engine is just above the water level
 
Mini roundabout between Morrisons and Pets At Home and Homebase under a couple of feet of water.
