Upstream view of the bridge taken about 4pm shortly before the water reached its peak level - the depth gauge is just visible on the right of the picture and reads a water level of 65.75m (above sea level) - shortly after 4pm the peak of just over 65.9m was reached. In comparison the water level is usually around 64.3m, so the water was about 1.6m above normal (5ft 3inches). For a view of the bridge with normal water levels see TL1803 : Bridge over the River Colne, London Colney.
