Aerial video of Pooley Bridge Washed Away

Storm Desmond claimed another bridge in Cumbria. This time it was the 300 year old bridge at Pooley Bridge at the end of Ullswater in The Lake District. This video shows how high Ullswater has risen and spread over the perimeter road. The road leading into Pooley Bridge is just a torrent of water with houses deep in flood water and the pier almost totally submerged. Police provide a road block to protect drivers.

The new lake formed from the flood is actually very beautiful, maybe the council should consider it as a permanent feature??

Remember it well. Sad it wasn't rebuilt and a monstrosity bridge has replaced it.

Hi I am helping put together a music video for a charity single written and performed by Lancaster artists, raising money for local business affected by the flood. Can I ask if this is your footage? And if so could I use it for the video?

[@lucycassidy3336]

Hi there. Did you film this footage yourself? We're working on a new documentary series called "World's Wildest Weather" and we'd love to chat about using your footage in the show. Is there an email address we can contact you on? Thanks! Lucy
