Swollen Severn, Boxing Day, the Quarry

Swollen Severn, Boxing Day, the Quarry

More pictures of the Severn through Shrewsbury as it was bursting its banks with water from the series of heavy storms. These are views from a footpath near (but not too near) the river through the Quarry Park.

By the Port Hill Suspension Bridge, the small landing stage and duck feeding area was completely submerged, while on the far bank the waters were encroaching on the garden of the Boathouse Inn.

A little further downstream, the low winter sun was catching the bare branches of the weeping willows, making them look golden.
