Flood warnings remained in place throughout the county on Monday, particularly along the River Severn.

The Environment Agency has warned that flooding could continue for days, with the River Severn expected to peak to between 5.3 and 5.8 metres in the Ironbridge and Jackfield areas and 4.5-4.7 metres in Bridgnorth on Monday.

Several people have died as a result of the floods, including a man in the Cleobury Mortimer area.

Friday brought an entire month's worth of rain in a single day, causing widespread flash flooding and travel disruption.

While water has subsided in a number of areas, there are still some parts where flood water has remained.

According to the Met Office, Monday should remain dry, though showers are expected for most of the week.

Photos below show the severity of the floods and the aftermath of the storm.
