Hethpool Mill – Watermeadows
The fields outside Hethpool Mill had grown rich and green with the heavy rains.
This picture is just a couple of minutes walk from the Mill
and this picture shows a section of river which was cut off after the floods of July 2009. Now the dry river bed occasionally collects the rain water and when it does you get pools like this.

A water channel cut into the meadow to try and control the flow from heavy rains
