Red Rock in flood, June 2002

Floods in Wigan (June 2002).

Many parts of Wigan were flooded in June when it was reported that as much rainfall fell in 1 hour that we normally see in 1 month!

John Barlow sent in the following 3 pictures of Red Rock after the water had receeded, note the stones and debris left behind.
