Week 6, Team 3 

Photojournalism 

In Louth, Lincolnshire one passes along London Road, down the steep hill, across the River Lud and then into the centre of this lovely Market Town, which dates back well over 1000 years. In 1920 there was The Great Flood, when 23 people died after 12 million tons of water fell in less than 3 hours. For the last few weeks water has been running down the road into the river from a car park. I notified Anglian Water of the terrible waste and asked them to do something about it. Thinking I would check up on progress, I left my house to see the road sign, walked over the river to the car park where I had seen the water, passing a 'blue-lamp' ambulance and arrived at car park and photographed the water. I then saw a notice left by AWA which reads 'This is a natural spring.' It just shows you that it is possible to jump to the wrong conclusion, in this case AWA could do nothing about it and the ambulance was not needed to help someone who had to be pulled out of the river.
