Yeah, although there used to be cross-drains in the carpark until Brunning & Price took over and revamped it all , have to wonder if they kept ample draining. I used to go out cleaning the drains and it would drop quickly enough (I grew up here and my mates grew up in the Aspinall, I used to work there way back when
). The Aspinall just happens to act a bit of a wall before the river.
All the way back to 2000? I'd have thought Boxing Day 2015 would have trumped that! Used to love this weather back at school (Bowland High) as we couldn't get to school without going over the rivers so they would close the bridges when it got too high. Good times haha
