Packman's Pit has changed in the last fifty years. It has since partly been filled in with land fill. It now only has water in times of heavy flood since the river course was diverted to Middle North Bridge and new weir. The flooding which also happens across the meadow to the right of Lathbury Bridge is testimony to the amount of water which can accumulate. Maybe filling in Packman's Pit has had a knock on effect! |
