Looking up Violet Road
from Akenside Street. The flood waters beginning to subside
with a gushing manhole visible. The boys are standing at
the spot were a cyclist was drowned. The water height at
this spot reached a depth of 10 feet. The 'Cinder Path' leading
to Wellington Road is on the left near to where the wheelbarrow
is. Note also the Match Works on the right of the photograph
under the railway arch with Linacre Road visible at the top |
