Cambridge floods




The recreation ground on Nightingale Avenue is flooded for the first time in the 21 years we've lived in the area.   


We've yet to see anyone using this equipment - not much chance at the moment!

The Bin Brook runs under Robinson College.  Usually it's just a trickle along the middle of the channel; today it was a raging torrent!

From Robinson, the brook runs through Burrell's Field on its way to the Cam near Trinity and St John's.  Yesterday this area was awash with snowdrops and crocuses.

The flood is within a centimetre of the footbridge on Burrell's Walk
