21st January 2010


Jennings Brewery from the bridge over the River cocker in Cockermouth Main Street ..


.. which is now open just to pedestrians


the footbridge upstream is also open despite massive damage in the floods


looking downstream from the footbridge to the road bridge


many of the flooded businesses in Main Street have reopened in temporary premises in Mitchells Auction Mart


meanwhile boarded up shops in Main Street are decorated with pictures by children in the local primary schools
.. wouldn't it be brilliant if somebody could create a website showing them all?


here is one graphic depiction of events on 19th November


Isel Bridge has been opened to walkers but was just being closed as we tried to cross it because cars have been getting over


the vicarage from Isel Bridge
