- Today i visited Collingham Newark and Fardon to take a look at the floods from the River Trent and also had a birds eye view from my drone, to see how devastating the flooding is being cursed by the floods and all the people who are affected who houses are under water, and will take months to get back to normal.

Great shots & well documented. Devastating for all the people affected. Keep up the good work 👍🏼
Thank you 🙏 this is so sad for all the people that have had their homes flooded 🙏
Great video. Better coverage than the official broadcasters. You should do more local news videos for Notts and Lincs.
Wow thank you for those kind words. Today I’ve been to do some more filming about the floods at Dunham Bridge and someone has actually tried to drive through the flood which I have the car on video 🤣 this should be out tomorrow 👍
I thought exactly the same
Many thanks for the video of Newark and Fardon area, You delt with the area better than TV reporters, I feel so sorry for the people in the area, my late wife and I spent a lot of time in and around Fardon and Newark boating up and down the river Trent from Nottingham, my prayers are with the residents and I do hope the river subsides quickly and things get back to normal.
What fantastic video of all the floods , always so informative Neil well done . I feel so sorry for the the people who have affected by this , I live in Derby so not to far away .
Thank you 🙏
To all my dear friends in Nottinghamshire and all of the UK that are so critically impacted by the floods. My prayers are being sent heavenward for your safety overall. My prayers of hope and peace fill your hearts abundantly. I cannot imagine your heartbreak at this time, I am all the way across the ocean in the US (Virginia) and I only wish I could be there to hold your hands and give you a shoulder to lean or cry upon. Blessings - Paula
🙏
@@neilrgreatestadventures There is no god and all religions are fake coded B.S control systems.. Now then... Why did the Rivers stop being dredged every year like they used to be in previous decades.. Many rivers are half the depth they used to be.. Then people blame CLIMATE CHANGE = CC = 33!!!
ALL BY DESIGN. The Age of Aquarius / Aqua Rheas is upon us exactly as was planned.
PS: I predicted this flooding over a year ago and even stated that it would begin around halloween. (Which it did.)
All that evidence is on my channel..
Thank you.
@@neilrgreatestadventures They stopped dredging the rivers a long time ago. It's all by design.
All the millions of people offering prayers to God in one way or another daily but all we get is calamity and catastrophe; that’s neither kind,caring nor compassionate,nice God and far greater perils face us for good measure 😉
Great job mate! Britain really needs a new generation of great engineering minds like Brunel to help tackle the major environmental challenges that we face.
or we need to stop building houses on the floodplains
Actually both. @@dazt5831
@@dazt5831 Yes we do this little island we live on will sink we have no room left way to many people.
Thanks for filming this to show how bad the floods are
All them flood dates carved in the stone and people still build houses in the area despite the warnings
Very true
Corrupt politicians and councillors getting palms greased.
Most house building companies are required by government and local authorities to include a flood plain when applying for permission to build. I work for a construction company just 4 miles from Newark, we have a flood defence system in place. All the fields and roads are covered with water, the new houses have been in no danger as the flood plain has worked. No politicians or local officials have received any monies. Please do your research before making silly comments.
@@andrewparfrement8583 silly comments lol tell that to the people who carved the flood dates in the stone or were they telling lies shut up fool
So adding tarmac and concrete to a very large area that once soaked up water doesnt add to flood risk. OK 😂
Very interesting seeing the historical peak flood lines. I live local to Collingham. Devastating for all those effected.
2:20 *Seems crazy to build houses when see how many floods have occured in the past !*
Brilliant coverage and so important to document. Imagine looking back on this in a few years! After a bad experience I wasn't keen on drones but this is so professionally done. Im subscribed and definitely changing my view point 🙂
Thank you, your words are so kind 🙏
Thanks Neil great footage
Thank you Neil
Excellent video Thanks
Outstanding. Better than the news.
Thank you 🙏
You can imagine 2 guys having a conversation back in 1875, one guy asks "Do you think it's that global warming?" And the other guy sets him on fire.
Better than watching the news your a very good man for taking the time to do this excellent work ❤
Thank you 🙏
Really detailed bless you and thankyou ❤
Clear , thank you
Absolutely fantastic video,, very very insightful.💯🇬🇧💯🇬🇧💯
Thank you Mark 🙏 been doing more videos today of the floods should be out tomorrow 👍
Brilliant Video Neil, we think you were very brave walking on the stone bridge, very informative but done with a lot of sensitivity on the subject without any drama that you get on the mainstream media. Stay safe
Thanks Guys, hope you are both well 🙏
Wow, I knew they had it bad across Nottinghamshire but this is crazy. Lincolnshire had it bad too. Great report.
Thank you 🙏
Well filmed and put together. Very sad to see though, it is amazing just how much water there is.
It looks there’s loads more to come, it’s raining now and I am less than a mile away
Well done,history being documented. Looks very much like Swanpool in Lincoln 100 years ago, where they are about to build hundreds of homes. This land is double pumped,i.e. pumped into one drain then pumped again into normal drain. Just imagine how deep the water will be not if but when this happens there.
Great video, must be horrible for the residents
Yes terrible, I feel so sorry for them, hopefully the government might take note of all the footage of all the videos of the devastating events and do something.
Down river at Torksey it was higher in 1977.
Been told by one of the residents it’s quite bad now I hope everyone stays safe 🙏
@@neilrgreatestadventures it is but we’ve lived here all our lives and never seen the Trent come over on the Lincs side. The inland “drainage” flooding is the worst due to pumps failing, again. NAIDB and D of E issues.
I'm from notts mate and lived in caythorpe (next to Gunthorpe/Lowdam). However, I moved away. Devastating again. I have a lot to do with local rugby and Newark, modern and casuals underwater.
Absolutely wonderful information photography,
Thank you 🙏
So sad to see. I had a boat and loved going up and down the Trent. So beauiful.
Great video you have done a first class job
So from the 1700's there hasn't been any plans on preventing this from happening again, and again, and again! Such great and considerate governments we have! Thank you for sharing, my heart goes out to all those affected by this flooding, my question is, how many more times will it have to flood for the government to actually get off their arses and do something about it?
18:30 It's actually Tolney Lane, go there quite often and was thinking of going there today (6/01/2024) but glad now I didnt as not much good !
Thoughts to the folks down Tonley Lane
The Crowden etc
I think if my deepest dearest Steve Crowden all the time
Insane flooding that mate
Brilliant video... I know the locations well...
Thank you 🙏
I used to live in newark and its always been prone to flooding ,,,but it's getting worse 😮,
Im from Newark-upon-Trent
Its biblical
Thankyou , very good report , the ingraven year tells a tail ee do not heed .
Good report . I am watching from usa .
We are in a drought , seriously.
Love the cheerful flood music😅. Joking aside great video, keep it up.
Every flood is devastating to those involved and these happen every year becoming more of a problem as the FLOOD PLAINS disappear under housing developments so the same excess water has to find somewhere to go.
Notice that question on your Insurance that now asks, are you nearer than X metres from a water course? That is a river, brook, drainage ditch, pond, lake etc.
Our old friend the Trent is just a walk away from our house. The flooding is really scary
😔
Sadly, it's definitely an accelerating issue:
1795
1875, 80 years after last
1947, 72 years after last
1977, 30 years after last
2000, 23 years after last
2024, 24 years after last
OFWAT and our government have a lot to answer for. Simply passing the drainage design responsibility on to the planning department and the privately owned water utilities is not going to solve anything. Floods occur in all the known locations every other year. All of this is preventable, but requires investment. Should we invest? Yes we should because that is farmland which provides us food to eat.
Spot on. Instead of investing in infrastructure or dredging rivers/cleaning drains, the money has gone to shareholders and wealthy Tory donors. Tory Britain for you. Another preventable disaster. Still, at least the wealthy got wealthier.
They stopped dredging the rivers a long time ago. It's all by design.
Then the big freeze
has the enviroment agency put the flood relief scheme at North Hykeham, AUBRURN in to use.
The thing is, floods are not caused by too much water - there is no such thing, evaporation and precipitation are a constant. They are caused by too little drainage.
i can still remember the floods of 74/75. where he is stood was at shoulder level. i remember the firemen pumping out cellars for days on end. nobody could sleep.
hi neil great footage are you local to the area i am a delivery driver for tescos and this week as been a nightmare due to kelham gunthorpe and dunham bridge being closed
Thank you hopefully soon will be gone, been to Dunham Bridge today filming, coming soon 🙏👍
Really well covered. Standard higher main stream in many ways.
Dredge rivers and canals before paying mega wages to bosses in water companies. Stop felling swathes of trees. would be a start to prevent this
Stop BUILDING houses on flood plane the water has no where to go.
@@chris_vandepeer . The ‘A’level planers all over the country no longer take advice from the elderly people who have passed down knowledge of our local flood plains❗️
Thanks for the video. Shows how dab things are.
Not so sure about those flood markings on the wall. Looks like it's been rebuilt using the older stone markers. No way is it an 18th century wall.
Terence Trent Derby...any thoughts?
I imagine that not many churches are flooded, they had more sense then!
Very true you are right there shame on the government
Market Rasen Lincs suffers from flooding that it once never did, primarily because of the Tesco supermarket and new housing estate in that area that was once grass fields that soaked up water, cement and tarmac, say no more!
This is what happens when Rivers not dredged to comply with EU Laws !
EU Directive Extract
The conclusion with respect to dredging
operations in relation to the Habitats and
Birds Directives is: their effects will be
mainly indirect but not insignificant.
The effects of this legislation can lead to
significant delays in project approval and
also to important increases in costs caused
by extended needs for impact assessment.
Of particular concern to the industry is the
fact that impact assessment for ecological
effects in marine waters may be very
difficult, since the environment is so
dynamic, and thus lead to further delays
in the approval process.
most rivers actually clear themselves during floods, the issue with dredging is the complete destruction of the river habitat specifically for fish and the extreme cost of not only dredging but also transporting the dredged sediment to landfill, A great example of why dredging does not work would be the mississippi river in the US where dredging occurs almost non stop everyday and has done for over 50 years (including flood defence walls and concrete channeling) but that river still very easily floods and they have the advantage of being able to dredge using barges which would not work in our rivers (too narrow and not deep enough) and evidence from those dredging operations shows a significant impact to all species using those stretches of the river from fish to plants to birds and it also causes significant sediment pollution during dredging which releases more sediment downstream, the easiest way to prevent property flooding is to simply not build on floodplains
So much of England is a flood plain so expect more as the chronic overcrowding on this island increases without control and cheap housing is thrown up at minimum cost. I doubt if there is much money left in the national kitty to do anything about improving the drainage so expect more of it. In 1875 where that mark is probably they did not have much of anything downstairs let alone carpets, expensive electric utilities or chipboard furniture so not such a problem then. Just swept the mud out and carried on with life unseen and unnoticed unlike now.
Was Farndon mis spelt? Great videos thanks
🤣 you’re the first to notice thank you just amended it 👍
99% of this is down to the rivers not being dredged
We don't have flooring in tuxford we are all safe here I don't live where they water I live on hill
Damn El Nino
feeling pretty bad for you guys up there. If the gov do not invest in flood protection asap these waters will never recede and britian will be a pond
Retford bad mate , can’t cross Dunham on Trent into Lincolnshire either it’s completely flooded out
There's always a silver lining.
I’ve done another video to day showing Dunham Bridge out tomorrow 👍
Are you from Nottingham?
Is this back to 2001 levels or worse? Brilliant video btw. North Notts.
Thank you 🙏
To all the people who say why building on flood plains still because its what we have always done since building houses. It's history just repeating its self. This next to rivers trent.
build more canals to drain the land better
is averham bramley cottage farm region flooded too?
Sorry not sure I will ask around for you 🙏
ok thanks
I miss the old English elms that would look majestic in these shots .
As this area has historically flooded I have little sympathy for those who complain about being flooded, quite simply if you live on a floodplain expect to get flooded.
little sympathy here too!!
but there are solutions to flooding.... greetings from the Netherlands.
like one big sea?? lol during 2022 in Oz an area the size of France and Germany was under 30 feet of water for months
In one record breaking splash the Fitzroy River was flowing at 60,000 cubes per second, that is a greater flow of water than all of UK and Europe rivers combined. Amazingly very few people died, but stock losses were huge
Typical government response.
Nothing as usual.
Housing illegal immigrants in
Luxury apartments and no assistance for flood victims. 😢
The previous floods were ~100 years apart, we've had two major incidents in the last 20 years. Climate change correctly predicts that such events will become more frequent 😢
Whilst yes climate change is happening because the amazon is being destroyed (this causes an imbalance in the weather), the main problem here is the fact that people continue to build on floodplains, where a river NATURALLY floods.
But those floods were two to three feet higher so the planners need to explain why buildings do not have higher foundations?
Thicko
Who is taking the money for maintaining rivers, dikes, would that be the Environmental Agency, Internal Drainage Board, the Council, the Central Government all taking their cut but not doing the service. Question, when was the last time you saw any of these cleaning out dikes and rivers ? There is no need for these floods had any of the Government quangos had done their job we already have and are paying for. Holland is not flooded, i wonder why.
@@colingathercole391 River maintenance occurs naturally when habitat isn't built on, however many groups like the environment agency are not receiving the money as higher ups within the group are giving the cashflow to shareholders. Water companies are also in the same issue, but because they refuse to pay for sewage treatment, they dump it into the river which then fills the river up with crap and destroys habitat that maintains the river. This is what happens when the government gives the private sector control.
What do folks expect when PROFIT comes before people Rivers not cleared culverts not cleared computers telling us rather people
Get a grip
Just as well it didn't breach the churchyard, or you could have graveyard bodies in the flood water.
just maybe a reason why the churches were build on the highest spot in any area...

No doubt the 3rd world is having a whip round for us as we speak 🤭

Doubt it - we've taken all their money.
Oo's a ikkle nob den?
Government announces free swimming in UK as a Brexit bonus.
devastating bad land management.
Isn't nature beautiful and it doesn't care if we get in it's way
just wish you would research cloud seeding geoenginering weather modification, and know it's real and they've been doing it since WW2 and thereafter !
Whilst immigrants are sitting nicely in hotels
Re 1795 flood mark.
Certainly severe floods have happened in the past but they were rare. A once in a hundred year event happens once in a hundred years. When your "once in a hundred years event " happens every year 🙃 or every couple of years, you have climate change.
The Trent has always flooded regularly, with records going back to the 12th century. People who buy houses with a river view, can expect to be flooded out more than once in their lifetime. The river has completely changed its course in the past, owing to flooding.
No that's wrong. Floods have always happened and the reclaimed land for housing has made things worse.This is nothing to do with man burning fossil fuels .It is bad use and husbandry of land mainly
...or the floodplains are obstructed by mankind so the events appear more severe...
Greetings from the Netherlands
You're questioning whether these floods results from global warming? But you're out there supposedly commiserating with the victims whilst in reality you're looking for clicks. Nice one pal.
Omg, this is proof of global warming
