The highway against the great Northern Station leading to Selston and Pye Hill Collieries were several feet under water and a large number of miners were unable to proceed to work. At Langley Mill the roads from Smith's Flour Mill to Pipers corner and from thence to the Pottery were like rivers, the water being several feet deep and passengers had to be conveyed in vehicles. At South Wingfield the Amber overflowed its banks and the surrounding fields were a sight, being one sheet of water."
