The Keswick & Workington Floods

In the third week of November 2009 unprecedented rainfall fell over the West Cumbrian Fells on already saturated ground.

The rivers Cocker and Derwent, which meet in Cockermouth, could not cope with this deluge and on the night of Thursday 19th November both rivers burst their banks causing massive flooding throughout West Cumbria.
This book is a pictorial record of the devastation caused in Keswick and Workington areas using pictures taken by local people at the time.
