River Stort in Lower Green, Langley This is the ford across the River Stort on the road known as Waterwick Hill in Lower Green, and, compared with Andrew's photo <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/58589">TL4334 : Ford, Langley Lower Green</a>, the river certainly has a lot of water flowing in it. The extent of the recent inundation can be seen from the flood trash line on the road on the far side of the ford.
