Wrong kind of water, Guv!

October and November 2000 were a little damp in places. Sandwiched between the rivers Thames and Wey, both of which at one point were on severe flood alert (i.e. flooding imminent), the waters rose around the Weybridge RC boathouse, coming within inches of the building. These photos were taken on Friday 10 November 2000, the morning after the flood waters peaked.
