A diversion on Salt Street (rural-style), Appleby Parva After much rainfall, Salt street was hopelessly flooded along much of its length, with some parts nearly impassable. Gladly an opening in the hedgerow at the beginning of the blockage allowed passage via the adjacent field. Returning to Salt Street after the blockage was more difficult, and further blockages did not provide similar diversions.
