Pubs hit by flooding

The pub trade has been hit by flooding for the second year running in many parts of the country.

Floods have hit the country again

Floods over the weekend hit Yorkshire, Shropshire, Herefordshire and Worcestershire with about 60 flood warnings still in place.

Reports this morning suggest the weather may be calming but hundreds of pubs have been left affected by the floods.

But there may be even more heavy rain to come on Tuesday and Wednesday this week across the north west and south west England and Wales.

Over 1,000 properties were flooded in Morpeth, Nothumberland as the River Wansbeck burst its banks.

• Check the flood warnings in your are by visiting the Environment Agency website.
