Sarn Bridge

It's hard to believe today that once upon a time it was possible to drive a car across the river here. But that is what my father-in-law can remember doing in the mid 1960s. It is possible to take a car down the lane. Trucks regularly drive down to the water works just off the elbow of the lane. but this is litererally the end of the road from the Caergwrle side of the river. The River Alyn.



The river itself is running very high today because of the recent snow. The video shows that it is so high that it is partially covering the drainage outlet for the surrounding fields which is usually fully exposed.

Full River

The current heavy and persistent rain has swelled the Alyn. Here is a vie from the Sarn Bridge.
