Mark’s History: River Aire rises at Rodley – in photos

Words and photos: Mark Stevenson

How does that saying go? “What a difference a day makes”. I went for a walk yesterday to get these pics. Although it was more of a ‘squelch’ than a walk.

I walked across the field of the Rodley Cricket Club, staying well clear of the cricket pitch itself. There has been a cricket pitch here since the 1930s at least. On this occasion, it was not the history that interested me but nature.

The pics are from yesterday and today with a couple from August last year and one from 2015 when the field was partly flooded. You can see how the river has risen in the last 24 hours.
