Our photographer visited Shrewsbury on Monday as the water continued to edge higher, with some footpaths closed.

The Environment Agency is asking the public to avoid using low-lying footpaths near local watercourses and to plan driving routes to avoid low-lying roads near rivers, which may be flooded.
