Editor's Notes
- Note the line of trees delineating the right bank and turbulent nature of a river at full capacity.
- Water begins to recede from the Jennings Brewery in the centre of Cockermouth.
- But this is not an exra-ordinary amount of rainfall…
- Wealth of people Technical ability of a country Education Age Rural Urban
- The sooner you can claim the better, as approved trades people can then start putting your house back in order...
- So its low lying, but it does have a system of flood defenses to stop flooding from the sea and from the river Hull
