Heavy rain in the Usk/Wysg catchment can give rise to flooding as here at Crickhowell. The fire brigade were in attendance as a few properties flooded at the north end of the historic bridge. The Usk is known to rise and fall very quickly.
SO2118 : Webbs of Crickhowell is a long-established Crick business: Mr Webb supplied my family with paraffin from the 1940s on although their little ironmonger's shop was then in the main square opposite the Bear. SO2118 : Castle Garage, Crickhowell likewise, and it hasn't changed that much. We got the accumulators for our 'wireless set' recharged there.
