The main street was 5 feet underwater and £millions worth of damage was caused. Here a footbridge over the River Derwent in Workingotn is one of many that was destroyed or damaged in the flood.

IMG_3262_p.jpg The area of the North Wales coast between Prestatyn and Abergele was reclaimed from an ancient salt marsh. As such it is flat, low lying and susceptible to coastal flooding. Climate change driven sea level rise increases the risk making it one of the most at risk coastal areas in the British Isles. In 1990 a combination of strong westerly winds a high tide and a 1.5m storm surge breached 400 metres of the sea wall and inundated 2800 properties in Towyn and Kinmel Bay. The rocks have been placed to try and strengthen the sea wall.

IMG_4244_family.jpg Happisburgh in North Norfolk is one of the most rapidly eroding coastlines in the British Isles. Already several houses have been lost to the sea. Though it has been eroding since Roman times, sea level rise and an increase in stormy weather, both driven by climate change has resulted in an increase in the rate of erosion. This family have stopped where the house, now ends, having fallen into the sea.
