Floods go hand-in-glove with Lydney and generally happen around once every decade.

There was a well recorded deluge on the last day of 1899 while this is a flood from 1910.

The photograph was taken from the railway bridge near St Mary's Church and shows the area of ground which is now the town's Boating Lake well known as the East Marsh.

The picture is from the Brian Clutterbuck collection.
