Flooding in Bloxham

A selective visual record of Storm Bert, its immediate aftermath and the long process of drying, repair and reinstatement.

Privacy and purpose. This record is intended to document the scale and consequences of flooding without unnecessarily identifying individual homes or streets. Vehicle registration details in the principal street photograph have been obscured. The resident shown below has given permission for publication. Captions are deliberately location-light where a precise street or property adds little public value.

Why keep this record? Photographs and video provide evidence of water depth, flow routes, property impact and recovery time. The full archive is retained separately; this page intentionally shows only the clearest and most useful material.
