Dave123 Posted December 24, 2020 Report Share Posted December 24, 2020 South Oxford closed at various points from Banbury southward due to flooding. River flowing into canal below Banbury lock and Shipton flood gate (the single gate before the bridge by Shipton Church) is closed. Some numpty obviously ignored the fact the river was in red leaving Aynho weir lock and is now stranded. https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=216769546763823 And someone tried to go up through Banbury lock?♂️?♂️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Athy Posted December 27, 2020 Report Share Posted December 27, 2020 Is that just above the deep lock? If so, it's a lovely mooring, though I don't remember the lake view. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

About half a mile from the deep lock. Near to the village. The lake isn’t normally there to be honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The river is over to the right near the trees, we use to stop there and walk the dog along the river. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Markinaboat Posted December 27, 2020 Report Share Posted December 27, 2020 (edited) Link to three videos I took the other day. Should work?? The meadows are a flood plain but not usually this much. I know the Great Western Arms at Aynho was flooded for the first time in 12 years according to the owner. https://www.dropbox.com/s/eb475l004x440h5/20201224164622.m2ts?dl=0 https://www.dropbox.com/s/vemb31hj2i7fb7g/20201224164735.m2ts?dl=0 https://www.dropbox.com/s/ro7y0jirjfm1nji/20201224164101.m2ts?dl=0 Edited December 27, 2020 by Markinaboat possible onset of dementia!
