Picture Set of The Month - November - The County Down Floods

Downpatrick submerged in flood waters Nov 2023  

These floods were the worst in living memory.
Not even the oldest, longest trading, local traders
could remember scenes like it.
 

In Newry a boat would have got you further than a car.

The canal, central to Newry, flooded the commercial
centre of the town to such a degree that some traders,
and many charities, will not be back. 

If that car belonged to the landlord of the property
then that landlord is sunk twice or three times over,
with how their neighbours trading prospects are sunk too.
