Our galleries of photos from the 1947 and 1982 York floods generated a lot of interest.

>>> 1947 gallery - 31 photos

>>> 1982 gallery - 30 photos

So here is another similar gallery, from much more recently.

The record-breaking floods of 2000 saw much of York and the surrounding region under water, and left thousands of other householders watching anxiously, as the water came within a whisker of breaching vital flood defences.

These photographs capture the scenes.
