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 TL4334 : Ford, Langley Lower Green, 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.
