Raging Dragley Beck threatens South Ulverston

Before Fitz Bridge



The Rope 'Walk' from Fitz Bridge


At Low Mill - the cause of the problem. Here film shows the view looking downstream towards Low Mill Bridge. The water is so high that the arch of the bridge can be scarcely seen. The water is being prevented by the small opening of the bridge from escaping. The solution is to dig out the river bed to the level it was many years ago when locals talk about being able to walk under this bridge and when river maintenance was good.

Thanks for this.

If you find out what this tanker is up to, it would be good to know!
