Shropshire weather: Flood warnings removed on region's rivers
Torrential rain brought rising water levels across Shropshire over the weekend - leading to flood warnings being imposed on the regions rivers and tributaries.
In Shrewsbury the River Severn burst its banks and flooded the towpath surrounding the town.
From Llanymynech, near Welshpool to Shrewsbury the river was in flood, with levels rising throughout Sunday.
However, by 7pm on Sunday evening the river had peaked at Crew Green, near Welshpool and the level was falling.
Peak levels at Maesbrook, near Welshpool were reached on Saturday evening.
By Monday morning the threat of flooding had reduced and the Environment Agency warnings were removed for the majority of the region. However, the level at the Cae Howel gauge remained steady.
There was still a danger of flooding on roads between Cae Howel and Edgerley.
The tail end of Storm Callum, which battered the region on Friday and in to Saturday caused widespread disruption with trains being delayed and roads blocked by fallen trees including one at Horsehay Pool in Telford. Fence panels were also causing problems having been blown on to the road in Market Drayton.
Paul Roberts, from Bangor-on-Dee took a photo of debris caught up by the bridge in the high water. Farmers have had to move their animals off low lying fields.
He said: “The debris that has come down the river with the flood water is backing up against the bridge.”
Many National Trust properties were closed including Benthall Hall in Broseley and the parkrun at Erddig, near Wrexham was called off due to high winds.
