成人快手 Gloucestershire's Chris Brierley in Tewkesbury

First journalist into Tewkesbury

One of the first journalists into the 'isle of Tewkesbury' was 成人快手 Gloucestershire's Chris Brierley. Read his story here.

I'd arrived on the Ashchurch road at 6am to find stranded cars and the road shut around half a mile before the town centre.

After speaking to a few locals I found out there was only route into the town ...the former railway line which is now a pathway.

Walking into Tewkesbury by the old Railway line was an odd experience at 7am in the morning - it was busy for starters!

There was plenty of mud around but no flood water - although I was heavily prepared with both waders and waterproofs.

Along the way I met a number of people. Many have lived in the town since birth and offered the same comment that this was "the worst since the 1947 flood!".

One of the people I met was the Canon of the town - Paul Williams - who I met outside the abbey.

He told me how the spirit was high in the town and how last night they had a curry night and folk music was played outside the abbey!

Then I made my way to one rest centre - a scout hut.

There I found eggs and bacon on the go by Beaver Scout leader - Eddie Mills.

One women who has benefited from the hospitality is Sophie from Mitten, unable to get home.

To keep her occupied she's been given a copy of the latest Harry Potter Book!

Then I dashed to Church Street - one of the town's main streets - that still had 5 feet of water.

As I stood and looked up I noticed that I was being watched by local residents sheltering in their homes.

Obviously spirits were high as during a live chat with John Rockley on the 成人快手 Radio Gloucestershire midmorning programme they even managed to put me off!

That was it - job done.

Time to pull my waders up and set off on the long walk back to the car waiting for me on the Ashchurch road.
