Pumped into the river Parrett, pretty much the only way to get rid of the flood water in this area.

Some places near the Burrowbridge area have been on flood warning since 22nd November (& still are).

That farm house looks far too close for comfort. I'm surprised the Parrett can take the flood waters without overflowing. Thanks for keeping us up to date.

The house is actually saltmoor pumping station, the chimney shows it used to be steam powered.

Interesting series these Dave, is this part of what are known as the Somerset levels?

Yes it is part of the levels, this area only has to 'think' of heavy rain & it gets flooded!

About WurzelDave
WurzelDave I'm a 30 something 'wurzel' who lives in South West England (UK) in the county of Somerset (next to Devon), famous for scrumpy cider, Cheddar cheese, The Wurzels (well worth going to see) & birth county of 2009 F1 world champion Jenson Button.Like the rest of the West Country, Somerset has many areas, places & landscapes worth a visit such as Glastonbury Tor & Abbey ruins, Quantock hills, West Somerset Railway, Cheddar Gorge, & Exmoor, to name but a very few.Favourite holiday destiations are Iceland (see alot of photos) & the Icehotel in Jukkasjarvi Sweden (also see photos). Still a lover of the flim camera, my first camera was an Halina 110 camera which you could buy flip flashes for! Now have a Canon 3000V SLR film camera, i also have Canon powershot A3300 & SX150 digital cameras which are useful for close up macro shots & also makes film 'last' longer!
