This set of photographs describes a visit to witness the after effects of severe flooding to the small village of Muchelney in Somerset. The village had been cut off for weeks, many had left their homes to wait for the floods to subside. This has been recorded with a reportive approach, leading the viewer along the journey into the village via the only route available to the far side where the road ends in deep water.
The flooding of Muchelney

The remaining road in
Many Bridges were overcome by high water
Water subsiding to reveal the in road finally clear after weeks
Streams and tributaries burst their banks
This entrance to the village hasn't been clear for weeks
Cars still unmoved as the water subsides
The weight of water took down older blockwork
An Orchard beside a family house under 4 feet of water
This end of the village lay abandoned

| The other end, remains completely cut off, boats only |
