Pub submerged underwater as River Avon burst its banks
A pub has been severely flooded after a nearby river overflowed during spells of heavy rain.
The Old Lock and Weir, on Ferry Road, in Hanham, Bristol, began to flood at the weekend after the River Avon burst its banks."It shouldn't take us long to turn it around and open our doors once the river has returned to a safe level," pub manager, Dan Rawlins, said."The weather forecast is looking a lot brighter for the next few days, we are hoping the height of the water level has peaked," he added.
Dry and sunny conditions are expected in Bristol over the next few days after several flood warnings were in place across the West of England at the weekend.
