Before the flood prevention scheme was introduced in the 1960's, Ruishton suffered from floods. The river Tone occasionally reminds us that it can still show a darker side, when provoked by a heavy downfall on the hills.

The water soon retreats back to the river, so tomorrow these pictures and a few twig's showing how far the water reached, will be the only evidence that it happened at all.
