York (floods) January 2024

Storm Gerrit, Pia, and Henk have taken their toll on the River Ouse in the beautiful Yorkshire City of York.
Barker Tower, built in the 14th Century which is situated on Lendal Bridge, has sustained immense flooding, as has 17th Century building ‘Kings Arms’ pub; as well as many other historical buildings.
Sadly, this video was abruptly cut short and also saw the swift demise of the drone used. Attacked by a flock of gulls; which one in particular picked the short straw and took down the drone., which dropped right into the River Ouse.

Hello last Thursday I was at york train station

Awwww so sad. My hubby was wondering if they dredge the river as maybe that could help.

[@whiterosealtitude]

Environment Agency, and Council cut backs.; building endless housing estates on natural drainage - water has to go somewhere. All wrong.

[@gordybishop2375]

Sad to see.

[@007spudman]

This looks bad. Has the water ever came up and flooded the bridge before?

[@whiterosealtitude]

No. Its been higher, but never come over the bridge as I understand

[@Ympopka]

The bridge was once washed away, in the middle ages!

[@whiterosealtitude]

@@Ympopka I blame peasant carbon emissions for that.

I was waiting to see the Kings Arm pub. They have a flood marker on the outside of the building.
