November 2015 bank erosion

2015 November. Bank erosion at BD16 1LT looking upstream from the Bailey bridge at the sports fields. The Millennium Way runs along this river bank. You can see how water pressure has pushed back the turf in places and in other places where the bank has eroded, turf has held the soil in place but it is left dangling down the bank. Such is the power of vegetation roots to bind soil.
