These flood images are hateful aren't they?! - to locate, I mean - the huge set in the Marches around the Severn and associated waterways took us forever.



Thanks for the location of this one, it's good to take it off the list...

The comparison between this photo which is a rural idyll and the adjoining EAW002552 which is of a colliery waste tip could not be greater.

See also EAW002552 which overlaps this picture, has been positively located and everything matches.

Eureka I believe that I have enough evidence to suggest a site for this photo.
