In November 2000, the River Aire burst its banks and water flooded the surrounding farmland and the village of Gowdall. Many of our children live in this village. They had to move away from their homes. In Snaith, many houses were sandbagged ... families had to move upstairs and be ready to leave their homes. Click on the ship to see how the water moved into Gowdall.

Thanks to Phil Woodall of Gowdall for the photographs.
